Dank u well, Diederik. I appreciate the comments. I have the
highlight-and-press-key in one step simply because they don't warrant
separation--they're really almost the same step. It's a similar approach
to the convention for indicating menu item selection: You can write either
"From the X menu, select Y" or "From the menu, select X > Y" or even
"Select X > Y" (depending on the context).
See ya,
