The default direction is almost always not what I want. When it moves I want "ENTER" to leave me in the same cell, and when it doesn't I want "ENTER" to move me right, for some parts of the sheet, or down, for others. Having the software tell me which direction to move annoys me. Having it obey my choice is satisfying. Having the cursor jump to another cell without letting the user choose to configure the behavior is not good. -- Lew --- * Synchronet * The Whitehouse BBS --- whitehouse.hulds.com --- check it out free usenet! --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
