hi mike,

 yeah thats true, I have forgotten that laptops can be a royal pain in the 
toosh. I haven't come up with any other workable key commands but when I do 
I will surely bring them to you.

 I also wasn't refering the windows logo key to be universal to everybody, 
but just for my perpose. Since I only have 1 main menu, I jsut want to press 
one key to get to it and for my perposes only I wanted the logo key to do 
that trick and just didn't know if there was a way to assign that key some 
how.
