I don't know if you'd believe this if I told you. :) I know from my experience
with Visual Basic 6 coding (I have Service Pack 5), it is actually relatively
easy to set up at least tab-stops for each control (ie. button, text box, etc.)
And keyboard shortcuts need only be prefixed with an ampersand & to become
active. I haven't dug into Windows C++ programming though. I only did Visual
Basic in Windows. So I agree from at least my own experiences. The only thing
is, I never even *think* to add keyboard shortcuts to anything I write because
I've used a mouse for so long (I do a lot of graphics/web design stuff too)
that I never even think about using a keyboard! I think it is that not only
a question of efficiency, it's more a question of how the programmer uses
windows themselves, and thus reflects in their programming style.

Poor excuse, I know. ::blush:: :)
