Conventions are a bit different in the Mac world. For the past 20 years or so, it has been standard to find cmd-leftarrow to go to the left margin, cmd-rightarrow to go to the right margin, cmd-uparrow to go to the top of file, cmd-downarrow to go to the bottom. (Really quite more intuitive if you ask me) As for page up and page down, they seem to scroll the visible region by one screenful (page) of text. Not only does it work for me (there is nothing random about it), but it is extremely useful, and just the behaviour I expect and need. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
