Here is the problem. On every other computer I use (the ]Standard-286 from PC Source, the HP Vectra ES/12, and the NEC Multispeed), ]you can select blocks of text using the SHIFT-combinations. ]E.g., Shift-End will block the text from where the cursor is to the end of ]the line, Shift-rightarrow will block from the current position to the ]character to the right, etc. This did not work at all on the T1000. A friend found the solution to my problem. It seems that the T1000 can be in either one of two keyboard emulation modes. The default mode is an "84-key" emulation mode that corresponds to the old IBM PC/XT keyboard. Microsoft Word 4.0's shift-key block selection does not work in this default mode. The alternate mode is a "101-key" emulation that corresponds to the AT type extended keyboard. By selecting this alternate keyboard mode in the SETUP10 program, you can get all the Microsoft Word keyboard block selection mode to work correctly. -- Todd Ogasawara, U. of Hawaii Faculty Development Program UUCP: {uunet,ucbvax,dcdwest}!ucsd!nosc!uhccux!todd ARPA: uhccux!todd@nosc.MIL BITNET: todd@uhccux INTERNET: todd@uhccux.UHCC.HAWAII.EDU <==I'm told this rarely works
