My suggested wording, which would be added as key table notes and which would show up at the top of the key binding listing, is: There are two Nav keys - one at each side of the top. * Each has three actions: Up, Down, and Press. * On some models, a Nav key is a wheel which can be both rolled and pressed. * On others, it's an up/down rocker along with a pressable button. On older models, the Selector keys are known as GDF (General Display Function) keys. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
