Dear Brad, The application that you'll want for this is called Turbo Keys. What it does is mimic the Alt-X-X key stroke sequence common to Windows. For example, for Select Partial Bars... I press Control-Apple E-S, or something like that. It also puts the little lines under the letters. At this time I can't remember where I got it from - I think it was part of another software package. However I like it so much it's going to be one of the main reasons why I don't upgrade to Finale OSX! Good luck, Matthew _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
