Actually, now that I think of it, I had other problems while in oa-f or oa-r
mode (sorting). I don't think I have ever been in either mode when doing
oa-'. I never thought to do oa-' in the Zoom in mode. Plus, it was Robert
Boucher that taught me oa-' (past year or so), so maybe he taught me that I
would have problems doing oa-' if I am in oa-f or oa-r mode.
Regardless, I think AW5.1 is the best program around. Faster and more
convenient then today's stuff.
