Trevor, I see this inability to learn to use shortcuts here also. There's a gal here who used to be our 360 operator (before my time here). She does quite a bit of flip flopping between 5250 and others. But like you said, takes her hands off of the keyboard to grab that mouse when there's no need. Even on 5250, I like Ctrl-Insert for copy and Ctrl-Shift-Insert for paste versus grabbing the mouse and using pull down menus. Actually the best transitional tool I've ever saw for keyboard shortcuts would have been Office Vision/400. Each step on the drill downs slowly built the keyboard shortcut. And that was even all 5250 based. I find most GUI applications only show you a few. Even IBM's PC5250 doesn't tell you what the shortcuts are for copy and paste. Perhaps that is because many people remap that function. Even though I find Ctrl x,c,v all being together causes me some fat fingered grief at times. Rob Berendt
