-- It seems to me so strange that no one else has run into this problem: say you want to delete text to the end of the line working on an emate: would you always take your pen at hand? Would you reach for you mouse on a desktop computer? Or use <shift + cmd> <arrow right>? Or if you want to delete all text till the end of the document, like in replying a digest mode Newton list message. Would you scroll all the way down with the emate pen and shift-tap the last word or would <shift + cmd> <arrow down> suit you better? -- Mmmm, good old DOS days; and for that matter, CP/M, WordStar, ... Would also be nice to imitate those (and other shortcuts) with pen in hand (some sort of <squiggle> or <tap-forward line>). Now that the command-line seem to be back(?) with OSX, who knows. Not such a grim (sic) idea after all.
