1. That is where the problem is.

I punch a few letters, and go inside the list. The value I
want is not there. Though I had fed that some time ago.

So I come out and start punching remaining letters. And
after feeding a few more letters, the exact value I was
typending comes out from autocorrect.

I wonder whether it is managing two lists, first giving
those from the first blank cell, and them from the entire
list, ignoring blank cells.

2. Which are the other keys available there? Excel help file
mentions a link, but clicking on that gives an ie error
messages.

3. Can we even make the Alt-down-arrow window longer, bigger
so that more entries are visible?

In any case, it is a lovely, very convenient feature.

Other queries:

1. If I don't give subject and/ or message body in netscape
in a mail I am sending, NS asks me that.

Is it possible to switch of this prompting? In command mails
(sub/unsub) these are correctly left blank. Itis irritating
that a software is reminding me what to do.

2. I want to have the list of file names in a folder in a
text file to that I can edit them.

i can go to dos and give "dir > filename.txt" and it is
saved.

Is it possible to do that from inside the window without
using dos command? (and not about using windows-run")

3. I have to upload thousands of small 1k/2k files to a net
server. Is it possible to upload them as a single zip file,
and unzip there?

Otherwise it will take hours and days of connect time, if
every file is individually uploaded.

4. In ns, if I am downloading newsgroup mails, and it
disconnects, on downloading next time, that particular mail
is not downloaded and is gone. Its header is visible, but no
content body.

Can we download such mails?

5 F1 is help, but it is so near to Esc and F2 which are some
of the most frequently used keys in most of the programs. I
end up accidently hitting F1 when I want Esc or F2.

Major problem is MS office which starts to show help, and
that is a long process. Even Esc does not abort that.

Any method to overcome this accidental hitting of F1, other
than putting a matel cover on the key. :)
