Ctrl + N in Editor - Numbered List.
By pressing Ctrl + N (of Numbers) the lines in the Editor are prefixed with numbers. This is useful if you are debugging a script and want to look up the line number that causes an error.

Ctrl + L - Shortcut List.
By pressing the Ctrl + L keys, in most windows a list pops up with the functions of that window and the assigned short cut keys.

You can select a function (by pressing the TAB key and using the arrow keys on your keypad or typing in the search field) and press the ENTER key. This feature is developed for people who have problems clicking the mouse button.

Windows 7 and Mokum Mail.

by Karen Shirron

As you all know, Windows 7 is soon to be launched. Until the official version comes out, it is hard to make any steadfast guarantees BUT a couple of our Beta testers are using it now and there have been no glitches with Mokum Mail which is, indeed, good news! Eventually as our personal PC's die and have to be replaced we will all have to break down and get Windows 7. Support for Windows XP, which many of us try to hold onto, will go by the wayside...

It seems that Windows 7 does not come with a mail program like Outlook Express, which was used in the past. And Windows Live Mail, which has to be downloaded separately, is not particularly friendly for those who like to create and use scripted stationeries. For stationery hobbyists and those in many of the yahoo groups, Mokum Mail is indeed the answer to your prayers! And as Joop mentioned above, if you purchase MM v7.0 NOW, you will only be paying US$ 39.90 if a new customer and US$ 19.90 if you have owned a previous program or MM version. After we launch v8.0 in a month, that price increases to US$ 44.50 for new users.

So don't delay, get your registered Mokum Mail version today!! The v8.0 update and any future bug fixes or updates will come to you totally FREE!
