See, this is *way* beyond me, as I haven't used BW in at least the last
 year, and from there, sporatically at best. It still is my favorite
 OLMR to this day, but there's no port of it - to my knowledge - to my
 prefered OS at the time. 

I'll thank you on Jean Perott's behalf though, and for me, I'm
relieved someone with the reader in front of them was able to point
out the keystrokes to accomplish this.
