> HHey Cara, Bill here. Usually I don't have answers to these but, I was rather curious when I saw your msg re: vo find, and what I discovered was this. See, I figured that "an enter was an enter was an enter"; however with vo find, this doesn't seem to be the case. I found when I entered vo+f folled by a text string that I knew to be in the .txt file followed by the return just to the left of the left arrow, the only thing that happened was I stayed right where I was in the file at the time of entry. When I checked with left arrow and moved my cursor to the left the number of characters in the string plus one, and checked out the contents of the string by using right arrow, at the end of the string was the word enter; however when I entered the same character string, of course after clearing with escape, folled by the enter key above the right shift key, all worked as expected, and I was then moved to the place in the file with the search string. Hope this helps, *big smile*
