Hi Ricardo, Can relate to the elevated blood pressure and--in my case, greying-- hair. *grin* I haven't tried using Vo-J in Safari. For whatever reason, that just didn't occur to me. I'll play around with it, and see how things go. I'm still curious about the Tab key though. It's definitely proven useful on many occasions, I just don't quite get how it works.
