Thank you Peter for your reply, in the past I just held a key down and it would repeat, as I said to Ronni, I can't remember how I set it up, I only used it when using xxxxxxxxxxx or !!!!!!!!!! Not to worry. Ronni has given me peace of mind by telling me to use the FN key. One day I will find out what I did originally. Thanks Peter and Ronni Tony: Sent from my iPhone.
