No. They just laid out the keyboard very mnemonically.

See, anyone else would have called that "translate".

Great. Which is which?  ;-)

Well, when you list *only* the logically named keys, sure. Granted, blender 
does a lot more than wordstar did, but that doesn't mean it's just as easy.

Hey, don't get pissy at *me* - I'm not the one arguing its useless. I just 
said the UI is hard to learn and to remember, which I think you'll find most 
people agree with. In part because it *does* do so much.

I wish Wings3D let you set up keyboard shortcuts for more stuff, because 
that's easy to use but slow because you *have* to go thru the menus.
