Codes? List? Message Links? Alt-x keystrokes?
What are the commands "Code" and "List" about?
How does one find out what the ALT-x combination keystrokes are to produce the commands - other than by trial and error eg. I found by accident that Alt-b is Bold-on, Bold-off.
How does one get a link to a particular message inside a thread, as we get with our email notification?
I can link to the topic, but there seems to be nothing attached to the messages, themselves from which a Url can be picked up.
Also I hit Cntrl-n, by accident, and lost everything, but then once, it came back.
Does anybody know how and why?

One way to find out what the "Alt+x" code is for a particular function is to "hover" your cursor over the function button. While you're doing that, look just above the window you're typing - there, you'll see the code laid out as (example):
[ b]text[ /b] (alt+b) for bold text.
As to the "Ctrl-N" problem, I haven't run into that - yet. (now that you've mentioned it, I'm certain I will, and probably fairly soon. That's the way my life seems to work!)

P.S. - You're meeting Emma in San Marcos on the sixteenth of September? The sixteenth? Sheesh! My birthday, and you get the best present! Oh, well - give 'er a squeeze from me, if you think of it!
