Instead of moving the mouse 1 inch and clicking the "Get New Headers in
Subscribed Groups" toolbar button, I lifted my right hand from the mouse, poked
Alt-O-N on the keyboard with my right thumb and middle/index fingers
(ba-dip-bop), and then put my hand back on the mouse.

Then I felt pretty stoopit.  :)  Normally, keyboarding is faster.

(...) NoNoNo -- the proper keys are ctrl-insert to copy and shift-insert to paste.(1) That way, I don't have to take my hand off the mouse. Steve (1) Of course, Win95's Explorer doesn't support these keystrokes. Grr. (26 years ago, 14-Oct-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
