Re: Inserting Specs of a different type after a given type.

OK

I'll print this information out and try it. I have seen a lot of those
ctrl/alt type keys used before, but everything in windows I have always used
was run by mouse, except the occasional program run from a command line or
DOS. I thought those options were for anyone who didn't have mouse
capability and have always just ignored them. Additionally, I haven't seen
any documentation of them from IBM. Not even in Violaine's book saying here
is a good way to run this.

They do have the ctrl/alt keys listed on the pull down menus, but that is
the only place I have seen it, unless there is something regarding the
tutorial on the web.

Thanks
Dwight  @ Ruger
