Hello!


Why is there not a method of jumping from 1 message to the next using 1
key while reading

There has there has to be one, makes no sense

º [x] The cursor will jump automatically to the º

...is a good alternative.

When you are reading a message, press F1 for further info:


º When reference links available º
º (Maus, Fido): º
º º
º + Go to the next message in the º
º reference link (if any) º
º º
º - Go to the original message in the reference º
º link (as long as it's still in the º
º messagebase). º
º º
º Ctrl-Page-Up º
º Jumps to the chronologically preceding º
º message in the same Newsgroup. º
º º
º Ctrl-Page-Down º
º Jumps to the chronologically following º
º message in the same Newsgroup. º
º º
º Cursor-Left and Cursor-Right Toggles between º
º messages in the same reference link. º


Ctrl-PgUP, and Ctl-PgDN isn't too bad at all, is it?

As you should already know by now, it's a simple matter of pressing Ctrl+PgDown whilst in the message reader. Do you have a problem with that?

There has there has to be one, makes no sense

However, I've redefined the Right-Arrow key to jump to the next message in the message reader by setting up a key macro: Config -> Keys -> Macros

WARNING: if you decide to play about with this feature, it's *VERY* easy
to make a *BIG* *MESS*!

Very powerful. Macros are another aspect of OpenXP that
comprises "the adventure"! :D
