Running XP home SP2 here and just tried what you said and it worked just as it should for me, no problems. Just to let you know, but all computers are different. Example of that is, with my old computer, when some one I'd me in AIM, or when I sent a message and Norton's email scanning progress window comes up, it used to be immediately in focus weather I was doing something else or not, on this computer, I never know they're even there except in AIM I get the sound. My laptop is set identical in every way and everything comes up like usual on that one, it's just this one, I don't get it but like it this way better. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hal Pearson" <hspearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "JFW List" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2005 12:17 PM Subject: alt, or control grauve, some investigating > Hi to all on list, > > Running windows me, and Outlook Express 6, I've done some investigating > using both alt, and control grauve in an effort to move to the message > edit > field.
