'Shift and draw cursor across' does exactly the same thing as 'hold left button down and draw cursor across'. I didn't mention 'shift-click'. When you made your suggestion to Barry, you did not mention that he would have to hold the left button down (or hold SHIFT) whilst drawing the cursor across. I was simply pointing out to Barry the need to do so. -- Bob
