Sorry, folks, but I am *really* confused. Why can't you just hit the 'k'
key or the up-arrow instead of the space-bar??? I think I fully understand
what you are asking for, but if we each get our little pet feature added
to Elm, we suddenly end up with a very complicated, cludgy program which
nobody likes because it has caught a severe case of the "creeping-featurisms".
Even though there are a couple of things that I would like to see changed/
added to Elm that would be great for me and my installation, I feel the
developers of Elm are doing a wonderful job, and I will adapt to whatever
they (the team) decides best, based upon our (the users) suggestions.

(and yes, I really think changing 'q' and adding 'Q' was a silly decision.)

Thanks,
Steve.                       sfreed@ariel.unm.edu
