Hi chuck, If you're not able to move around with just the arrow keys alone after having brought up a contextual menu, then there's a bigger issue than just Pro Tools. If you're able to see the Interface submenu, simply pressing the right arrow should take you into the Interface submenu. Well, as usual, being south of the Mason/Dixon line might have something to do with your situation, eh? ;)
