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

Enabling this: Config/Options/UnserInterface:

��������������������������������������������������������ͻ
� �
� [x] The cursor will jump automatically to the �
� next message when exiting the previous one, �
� ready for it to be read. �

...is a good alternative.

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


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


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
