Hypothetically, if you stumbled upon some folks arguing about Lotus Notes R3, wouldn't you assume they knew the standard windows shortcuts?

(Trick question, R3 only had ctrl-insert etc OS/2 shortcuts!)

In any case I apologize my paste-buffer foibles denied you my three paragraphs of immense wisdom regarding the good & bad of an obsolete end-user friendly distributed database system that went out of style a couple decades ago.
