If you place the input focus in the text region (by > left-clicking there somewhere), you will then get the standard text keybindings, which include ^S et. al. You're sorta right. I clicked in the text section, but was unable to get the input focus there; the cursor jumped about as I clicked the left mouse button about, however the keys were still dead. Oddball twist: Just for kicks, I decided to click in one of the right panels. This worked!! Suddenly, the keyboard started responding. So, you're suggestion sorta fixes the problem, but not in an intuitive way. Thanks for the help, though. - Anthony
