[QUOTE="richg99, post: 256840, member: 4376"] IF..they asked me the question [b]"When you first set up IE, it asks you what you want your [size=5]default accellerator to be for the highlight text search"[/size][/b] my answer would probably have been.. What the @#$% are you talking about? What is an "accelerator"? What is a "highlight text search" I guess it might be a quick way to get somewhere...????? They put all of the computer jargon in ....and....on the first day you open a program and you ( me, anyhow) have NO IDEA what they are talking about. We just click on OK and let them load whatever it is they want...then we never know or knew that we had a choice and what those choices might mean. I've had a computer since my first TIMEX/SINCLAIR with 4 kb of ram way back before Apple made their first machine. I had to teach myself RPG to get to do anything worthwhile. Made a ton of money off of what that little self-written program would do, too. Today's programs can do wondrous things, but many of us never get 20% of the capabilities out of them. Thanks....Keep the hints coming. Rich [/QUOTE]
