With my 5.5 and W98, the {Alt P}PM sets me correctly in the Map Window
Preferences dialog, but the active element by default seems to be the snap
tolerance. The Y would go there of course. The solution is to {Alt Y} or N,
in contradiction with the recommendation to use the Alt with only the first
P.
I played with all the other options in that dialog, always with the Alt
pressed and I found a pretty nice little bug : Preserve Current Scale and
Spherical are both controled by the letter P, one in caps, the other not.
Results : neither can be set by {Alt Shift P} or {Alt p} and once on one of
them, using one or the other combinations will simply toggle the highlight
but will not make the selection.
Incidentally, that bug has been "raided out" in the 6 beta I have; the p
from spherical has become an e. (I am sure I am not disclosing anything
forbidden there)
The "letters" indicated for "highlight control" are also useless. They
simply highlight the first style button but one must act directly on the
required button to open a style requester.

Thanks to Jonathan Stokes and Jason Adam who wrote MBXs to take you directly
to the Map Settings under Options> Preferences. I have zipped up Jason's
application (per BT's advice concerning virus detection problems) and
attached it.
Thanks to Brian Forester who suggested a keyboard shortcut which works well
too:
Alt PPMY will set your toggle on (you only need to press Alt with the first
P)
Alt PPMN will set your toggle off
I know that there is also an old posting to toggle this setting from the
MapBasic Window, But I cant find it now.
