Well, I believe these shorcuts came from the macintosh. This would
explain why they're present in Adobe products. And Microsoft adopted
them when they extended Office for the Mac. Many applications can use
several simulaneous shorcuts sets. E.g. povwin undo is alt-backspace as
well as ctrl+z.

Yes, I do (but with Word, because printing isn't implemented yet in
beta 6).

It didn't change much. Maybe the pov scene language help didn't change
at all (I don't remenber exactly). But the specific povwin help did change
a bit.

I really like the new editor, and I get more used to it. Anyway, I
proposed a toggle, so would it be implemented no one could loose
anyhing - apart from the people programing it :-) The 'click anywhere'
feature of the new editor is only annoying me because I set my 15"
screen on 1024*768 at least (I like to see as much code as possible
and big images) .


Tracingly,
