Michael, #insert STDPRAISE.h I've been using MLCad again. And I noticed something that vexes me. I'd like to be able to use the keyboard shortcuts more. What I think would work for me is to be able to setup MLCad to have the up-down/left-right arrow (...) (24 years ago, 27-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
