Doug, I agree with you.   I was just trying to check on some things
about the menus without going back to the manuals.  Which brings me
to another point, when reading the menus, and you can't understand
something, and you would like to spell it out, you can't do it with
the arrow keys.  Since the up and down arrow keys move you through
the menu, why can't the left and right arrow keys move you over the
words a letter at a time.  Maybe you       can do that   if it is
not too much trouble.

While I am at it Doug, when I am typing, I like to keep the
keyboard echo on, and echo each letter as I am typing.  There seems
to be a delay from the time I type the letter, and when the key is
echoed back to me.  Increasing the rate does not help.  I also have
all keys interrupt on, but it still does this to me, and this slows
me down.

               Walter
