Re: [orca-list] keystroke problem: number pad slash and star

[Al Sten-Clanton <albert e sten_clanton verizon net>]

:I'm trying to join a channel using instructions I was pointed to. My 
comments are after the ones I've copied here.

Join the #freeculture IRC channel

    Select Buddies » Add Group... and make the name of the group IRC. 
Click ADD.

I was able to do this.  I forget whether I used clicking instead of more 
normal keystrokes.

    Check Buddies » Show Empty Groups to make the IRC group you just 
created visible.

This was where I got stuck.  It seemed I had to click to get the menu, 
and, incidentally, didn't find "show empty groups".

Thanks again if you can help me get this straight.
