Ohh! You're quite touchy! Did I hit a nerve there, an in you might have written this software? LOL.

I did.

Tom: You might want to upgrade from the Osborne.

Good one, Tom, but the Osborne didn't have a mouse. I'll be more realistic and guess a circa 1984 Mac Classic. Or maybe it's one of those cell phones with a tiny LCD screen? Ooh-ooh, got it: a 1990 IBM Model 30 with OS/2 and an EGA display.

The ironic thing is, the message form was designed with people like you (Nacho) in mind: I remove the menus and buttons and address line and status bar to give you more room for the message.

By the way, did you try to resize the window? You can do that, you know. With the mouse. No control keys to remember.

and you can't enter a message in, say wordpad, and then cut-&-paste it.

Sure you can....

so that you can cut-&-paste using a mouse rather than having to remember Ctrl-V.

Just out of curiosity, how do you manage to produce capital letters?

Thanks ever so much for the thoughtful and insightful input.
