OT I am trying to avoid Carpal Tunnel Syndrome type stuff. Jon, I think you'd find the mouse wheel to be very easy on your Carpal Tunnel. I've had some problems with it too. Not good for the tennis game. With the mouse wheel, you only click it once, then your fingers don't do anything after that. You only move the entire mouse up or down a fraction to make the page scroll up or down. And once you start the scrolling, it keeps going by itself until you stop it.

Regarding arrow keys: The "problem" is that when a page is loaded, the "focus" (which is where the blinking cursor is) goes to the quote box. By clicking on any part of the page, you move the focus to the page itself. Most pages don't specify where the "focus" is on a page, so it is the page by default. Also, by upgrading to Netscape 4.7 (latest version), you won't lose your bookmarks....But it would be wise to back them up on a floppy first. Back to the books, Justin
