There's no "paste" in wordstar (since wordstar has no clipboard), and ^V is usually the insert mode toggle. Maybe you confused it with the "move" command, ^KV? ^V actually comes from the Mac, where it was Command-V (early Macs had Command instead of Control; modern Macs have both). On an US keyboard, Z, X, C and V (mapped onto undo, cut, copy and paste) are side by side in the lower left. They do, however, collide with the wordstar directional functions (char movement ^S, ^D, ^E, ^X; word movement ^A, ^F; page movement ^R, ^C; scrolling ^W, ^Z; just look at an US keyboard layout to find out which is which). Joe is a fine editor, though. MfG Kai
