I seem to remember that, while F works with or without the command key,
K used to require the command key.  However, trying it now under System
6.0.3, I find that both work without the command key.

Is this the case with all systems?  If so, I will omit mention of the
command key altogether.  I don't want to claim anything specific to 
individual applications, and F by itself works just fine in MD II the 
way I described.

As for waiting for the dialog box, of course that is correct, but it
is at a level of detail that I would prefer to avoid.  The goal is not
to provide a complete explanation, but to indicate a way to approach the
problem.
