this reminds me of when my wife, a legal secty as a teenager, was told 
to use the function keys under Word Perfect.  Her response was 'you mean 
I have to leave the home row?'

When I am a cuttin' and a pastin', I'm usin' that mouse thing. Ctrl-V 
(from Wordstar/DOS, which is what staff uses in our office), means I 
have to drop that mouse thing and use the keyboard.  I'm just looking 
for a flow of motion, and I found it unusual that the edit box would be 
excluded from the use of the cut and paste mouse features.
