<continuation> in some alien language? I think this is a non-issue that's just clouding the discussion. I don't think there's really any difference between RETURN and the icon when it comes right down to it: people that know computers or typewriters will know what that key does, no matter what language they speak. If they don't speak the language of the OS's writer there are going to be other, more important problems. And if we're talking about a complete neophyte, not only are they going to have to learn the whole system anyway, I'd wager that that little arrow symbol will be no more help to them than RETURN. Rick
