And all the documentation depicts this >cloverleaf thingie wherever there should be Carets or Uparrows. Nope. The 'cloverleaf thingie' is the command key.

The command key is used for things like menu equivalents (e.g. typing command-s in most Macintosh programs saves the current file). -- Geoff Allen - WINCO Computer Process Engineering ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ...{uunet|bigtex}!pmafire!geoff | Disclaimer: Any thoughts here are my own ...ucdavis!egg-id!pmafire!geoff | not WINCO's or DOE's or anyone else's.
