That's exactly what the word environment means though, isn't it! I really don't think there's any point at all in changing the name of that menu entry; the current one perfectly accurately describes "things around you" and avoids having to change documentation etc. Regarding the control key mapping restrictions, I'm definitely not too keen on that for this reason; the control key is usually one of the easiest modifiers to find on a keyboard, and if anything I personally think more flight-related functions should be accessed using the control key as you often want to access those rapidly, perhaps even by feel without hunting around the keyboard. Program related functions on the other hand are rarely needed in a hurry and could be mapped to any modifier without making much difference to functionality. Just my opinions, possibly strange ones :-) AJ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
