"Affordance" (a term used by a Scottish academic [vaguely recollecting] who wrote on the issue many years ago in an Encyclopaedia Britannica Year Book) is about the design of the human/machine interface. *Technically* so what that Home and End are given an unconventional usage? However, I would recommend that you programmers don't be casual about *Non-technical* considerations and be consistent with general expectations (of all sorts of aspects of usage - not just keystrokes). We want OS/2 to win more friends and influence people don't we? An important reason why the hoi polloi users are repelled by OS/2 software is precisely due to failure at the affordance level. Some failures along these lines in StarOffice comes to mind. Victor Bien > On Wed, 05 Dec 2001 16:56:52 GMT, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >>I find no key in Bookmarks that will jump to top or bottom.
