Only use mousey in IE5 for changing >frames, haven't found a shortcut for that yet. It MIGHT work to just hit the tab key, but I don't know. Like when I sign into CCC, I fill in the user name, hit Tab, then fill in the password, & enter, but that might not work on frames. I don't care for frames because when I wan't to supply a link to something, it won't be the url in the "location" thing, it'll be the url in the link to that frame, so you gotta right click on the link and get it from there. All those sites with the links on the left and the frames on the right? Not my favorite thing. >In Pretz's GUI I've made sure >I don't have to use mouseclicks anywhere.
