HI Doug.
Re the controlShiftO thing, k, thanks for explaining that and letting me
know. I wondered might it save you some
future support energy/time in the future,
if you were perhaps to document this in the known issues section on the site
for skype4.2 release?
I don't remember seeing that in there? or am I mistaken.
or, he he, better yet, maybe to get the script to do a skype version check,
and report to the user something like "sorry, this version of skype does not
support this feature." or something? what do you think.
And re the save/cancel buttons, you mean then, that they are
pcCursor/keyboard focusable,
if one is in i the right context?
That's something I sure never knew. I'll try that when next I get someone to
send me files to check, so's I can instruct others on it.
thanks for the info Doug. much appreciated.
geoff c.
