This >cdev does several very useful things, and I find it invaluable. Several points here. I tested QuicKeys, and unless I'm missing something, it always returns the cursor to the original spot after executing a QuicKey. The manual mentions that it does indeed do this, so I assume that it is quite possible to simply not do this in some situations, leaving the cursor wherever you want it. Shouldn't be too hard for the CE Software guys anyway. HeirDA and Versaterm 3.00 seem not to get along. In Versaterm, the normal character for the hierarchical menu is changed to another (one of several) and each DA that has a menu also has a character to the left of it. All the characters are from shifting the numbers, though I don't remember the specific ones. HierDA has worked fine with everything else (except PageMaker 3.0 which uses the same command key sequence for something). I'm using a standard SE with 1 meg, system 5.0, and some INITs which have never been a problem before, so I tend to suspect Versaterm on this one. Not a big deal, the problem is mostly cosmetic. Adam
