Andy, on the numeric keypad their are two keys larger than the rest over on the
right of the keypad.  The plus key is the second one up, the one below it is
numpad enter.

Hi Ray.

No problems, I seemed to follow that fine, but I don't really know why as I
could not find the plus key on the numpad.  I thought it was the top right,
but we did not announce this.  No matter, I was able to read all the way
down the screen by Insert 6.

Thanks for that.  I'm going to have to hold onto these messages for future
reference.

Best wishes.
Andy
