Hi Stephen Thank you for your help last night re e71 and assigning keys. I did eventually get this sorted, just that after going in to tools, settings, general, personalization, I then had to choose screen instead of stand-by mode but then I got an option there to asign the keys. Just seems the e71-1 is differently set up than say the N series. eleanor -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 6 million users fighting spam.
