While I don't claim to represent AI Squared and so cannot speak for them
I would like to say that the method of using the f8 key to perform copy
and pasting commands has a benefit over the traditional method of using
the shift key along with navigation keys. With the newer method of using
the f8 key, you are free to roam around using standard navigation keys
and go through the document at a leisurely pace, using standard reading
commands, until you locate the end of the block of text you want to
select. With the older, traditional method you have to always use the
shift key and letting go of that key while navigating unselects text
which you may have selected. Frankly, I wish we could have a similar
method of text selection which would be available in any program with a
text edit field but that's just my personal view.

For the record,
I can't figure out, for the life of me, why GW-Micro thought that the old
method of cut and paste needed fixing. This F-8 thing is for the birds! I do
quite a bit of selecting large portions of text, from either emails or web
pages, and I'm constantly having to go through a large document line by
line, just to delete blank lines that appear in the document. This is a
pain, and never happened with the old method, control-shift-down arrow. This
is simply ridiculous!

You use the f8 method whenever you are in browse mode.
