Hi all,

On Sunday, November 07, 1999, 3:21:42 PM (-5 GMT), Tomasz scribbled:

It's only been documented on TBUDL as many other little goodies are. :)

It's definitely different. I keep turning it on to get used to it only
to eventually get fed up and turn it off. The relief it provides
through not having to use the ALT+L shortcut is offset by the amount
of times I have to use the alt+Backspace and Shift+Ctrl+F shortcuts
to either undo what I didn't want to happen or to disable it so that I
may do things that I can't do with it enabled. :)

AM with AIM Keys to ease the problem.

Tell me about it. :) I was just using my wife's laptop and that damned
touchpad can play tricks on you.

You need to hit the spacebar after the '--' for the signature

Hello Ali,

Sunday, November 07, 1999, 2:33:51 PM, you wrote in response to
Tomasz' saying:

 Why does all the good stuff in Bat have to be undocumented? I
 checked the help file on Cookies and there was nothing about
 this...

AM It's only been documented on TBUDL as many other little goodies
AM are. :)

I too have found the help file not quite helpful enough and so asked
Tech Support about the existence of a user's group, and ...

A better help file structure would certainly be of help.

...

AM I therefore use the mouse a little with AIM Keys to ease the
AM problem.

 Well,  when  you  use  a  laptop  as  your primary machine, you learn to
 distrust the mouse...  no pads or clicks will be ever as good as the real
 thing.

AM Tell me about it. :) I was just using my wife's laptop and that damned
AM touchpad can play tricks on you.

Though not cheap, a Logitech Marble trackball is the best "mouse" I've
used. If you accelerate it, you can sweep all over the screen by just
moving your thumb, without lifting it off the ball, while the index
and middle fingers are already on the left and right mouse keys, with
a programmable middle key (which I use for double clicking with just
one click).

They also make a laptop version but I haven't tried it (I will on
getting a laptop), that can be clipped to the side of the laptop, I
believe.
