In the Finder's help menu there is a "Finder Shortcuts" selection. On page 4 of this help is says I can expand an outline of a folder in a list view by pressing command-right arrow. It also says I can expand an entire outline with command-option-right arrow, collapse an outline with command-left arrow, etc etc. Well, all but one of these keyboard shortcuts works for me: command-right arrow. I select a folder in list view (yes, the folder does have stuff in it!), press command-right arrow, and nothing happens. Command-option-right arrow does work as advertised, along with all the others. What's the deal here?

You don't have a macro utility overriding Command-right arrow or something do you?? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Evan Torrie.

The cursor key numbers are different on the plus than on the ADB keyboards. They send the same "character", but the numbers of the keys are different. It might be that the Finder is failing to make allowances for the Mac Plus's peculiar right arrow key. Something else I discovered: if I press shift-command-right arrow (instead of just command-right arrow), it works! Strange.
