>>>Did anything like this happen to others? I had a directory called "DataBackup", and when I tried to type it in a command, I ended up typing "Database" instead. After several tries, I managed to type it correctly.

>>I have a different problem. I don't mistype words (except variable names, where I often forget which characters were left out in their original abbreviated spelling), but I forget the properties of the window I'm typing in. Is it a memo, method in a visual class, instant messenger, email or UT editing? I think quite a few moments of inspiration (for lack of worse term) I had here on UT were lost because I ended the editing with ctrl+enter instead of tab, enter.

>Is that from VFP? I am accustomed to typing Ctrl-W to save and close a window.
ctrl-enter meant "send mail" since Netscape 3, and worked in all versions since, plus in most versions of Mozilla (except for a while between 1.0x and 1.4 or so, now it's back). This editing window on UT looks to me as an email window, maybe because it's got Mozilla's icons on top.
>OTOH, here in the Universal Thread I got accustomed to pressing Tab and Space, to send a message. Then, I do the same in Outlook Express. The result isn't exactly catastrophic, but it is a nuisance, nonetheless.
The few times when I was forced to use Outlook (not Express, though), I had not only the trouble of remembering that it's alt+s, not ctrl+enter, but also remembering that it's not going to send the message immediately, but rather when it feels like it's time. I know it can be adjusted somewhere, and I'm glad I'm not obliged to venture down that labyrinth again.
