Hi Naoto

>No, you didn't misunderstand me. I just wanted to make sure that this isn't one of those rare occasions where the keyboard shortcuts for Copy/Cut/Paste aren't the usual ones -- which is something that frequently happened in DOS. Particularly annoying was when the keymap would change between versions of software. One example was the full-screen editor introduced in DOS 5.0 (which was really QBASIC.EXE in disguise -- EDIT.COM was simply a launcher program that started up QBASIC.EXE with an additional command-line parameter "/EDITOR") -- which used Shift-DEL/Ctrl-INS/Shift-Ins for Cut/Copy/Paste. Around the time when EDIT became a separate program the keymap changed to Ctrl-X/Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V.

Yeah, I remember them, plus Borland C++ DOS also uses these Ctrl+Ins thingies.
Regards
Bhavbhuti
