Seville, Neither command is outdated. You can set your BN to enter the Block Commands Menu when you press ENTER with dots 2-3 as well, although the default is SPACE with dots 1-2.
>From the Main Menu, press U to go into the Utilities Menu. Press M for >Miscellaneous Options, and the second item there is called "Compatibility >Mode". If this is turned on, then the command SPACE with dots 1-2 will >function as the BACKSPACE key, the way it works on Blazie/FS notetakers. This >is to help former users of such notetakers to adjust, since they would find >themselves hitting SPACE with dots 1-2 to delete the previous character, out >of habit. But because SPACE with dots 1-2 is, by default, the keystroke for entering the Block Commands Menu, that function has been reassigned to ENTER with dots 2-3. Your student has Compatibility Mode turned on, while your BN has it turned off. That accounts for the difference. This Compatibility Mode is discussed in section 14.7 of the version 5.0 User's Manual. There is a disadvantage of turning Compatibility Mode on. That is, you cannot enter the Block Commands Menu when you are in Keyweb because the keystroke ENTER with dots 2-3 is used to jump back a number of words (set in the text section size under the Display options). Thus, it would be better for your student to turn Compatibility Mode off, and get accustomed to using the left hand's little finger in pressing the BACKSPACE (dot 7) key for deleting the character before the current cursor position.
