Hi Judith,  Thanks.  I play the guitar left handed so this may explain my

I'm sure Yardbird could explain it to me.  Happy weekend, Mitch

Mitch, actually I do use the left pinky on control, the right pinky on
insert or jaws key and the third finger on the right hand for the 7 on the
key pad.  Years of playing a musical instrument limber up your fingers and
give them more dexterity.  Judith
