The Mac >> delete key is equivalent (more or less) to the Windows backspace key, >> fn+delete is the equivalent of the delete key. A harder problem is interpreting the delete behavior in the context of wysiwyg math. Not that I have not done it in prior versions of the editor, just that it would be another sizable wodge of programming. In the first* editor I did I went crazy and did /everything/ including drag-select, shift-click select, and then of course cut and paste. I spent hundreds of hours on that, rather stupidly I think now. Kids I am sure do nothing but type and hit backspace as needed from the end to fix things. I will over time work fancier editing back in, but there is just little ol' me over here (and no money) so I am following the business approach described here: http://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-better.html Mr. Cornford is now free to chant "worse is better" in any follow-up. :) kt * I lied. It was prolly the second. I have written five and am trying to talk myself out of a sixth. -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself."

Or is it the consensus that because I do not do something in the initial release I will never do it (and hate blind people)? You folks have the logical powers of... of... oh, right, a lynch mob. sheesh. You are just lucky I have to wait five minutes to SCP over a new release once in a while or you'd never see me around here. :) The goal is to become profitable before I go bankrupt. Methinks I can do that with 95% of the sighted right-handed people. If I cannot, the other 5% won't make ... oh, sorry, there I go again with the logic. Ah, perfect. The copy is done. I added bookmark and back/forward tab support using the simple qooxdoo hooks: http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/1.1/back-button_and_bookmark_support About twenty lines of code, thank you very much... ah, looks like I have to write five more to make this work: http://teamalgebra.com/#TRAINING kt -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself."

Cue David Mark to say in a Jocelyn Elders voice, "think of the cheeeeeldren with Opera"

Ah, perhaps > you mean that other group. Why don't you leave this one out of it? Because it is the most important advance in software development ever? Dataflow (or pick your favorite alias) should have been there in the beginning had we thought through what we were doing with computers. Now many of us are catching up, in Lisp, Python, C++, Scheme, and even... well, not sure where the dataflow lies in this bad boy: http://www.openlaszlo.org/ I see a reference there to "Declarative LZX language", I think that's it.

Actually, that was my first parse! "People without the Internet" being my cue. But then I remembered WebKit was available as a library to bring RIAs to the desktop.... doh! :) kt ps: this should work now: http://teamalgebra.com/#TRAINING -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself."
