    Hi Gar et al....

    Sorry, I'll try again <G>. .. At the command line, when you have a windows
    keyboard (that's the one with the extra keys with the M$ sign), you can jump
    from (for example) F1 virtural terminal to F2 by clicking on the right M$ key
    and jump back by clicking on the left key.

    Anyway when i upgraded from 8.1 to 8.2 I lost this built-in function. I was
    hoping someone could tell me how to get it back.

    Thanks

    JIM
