shortcut keys Today most programs have a easy to use graphical interface. The main disadvantage to use the mouse and point in the different menus when working in a program is the slow speed you get. Most people that were around in the old days remember how fast they could edit by using a line editor. The time you spend in learning shortcut keys usually is paid back many times. Its is easy and fast to learn the shortcut keys you need. Start learning the keys now.
