Sure, dependent on where your hands are, Shift-Arrow + keyboard crap might be faster. Point was it's generally not, and not required.

I guess I should sum up that the whole point of this thread is that, yes, though single-click may not be what most people are used to, they *can* adapt to it, and they'll be happier about it in the long run. Otherwise maybe they'll change it, but don't doubt people's ability to adapt, before 1991, nobody in the world (almost) could double-click. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
