Hello All

    1) I noticed an interesting "feature" in mathed that I like a lot
    and I thought that I would mention it since I couldn't find it
    in the documentations which is:
   
      If you push alt-m-m you go into math mode and you get the 
    blue square that expands as you type. Now if you type alt-m-m
    again you go into normal text mode while remaining in math mode.
    (ie you are still in the blue outline which still expands as you type) 
    Typing alt-m-m once more returns you to math mode. This also works 
    with inline equations.  This is handy to eliminate those little red 
    things that you have to use for spaces,(cntrl-space) plus the text 
    is normal text when you want it to be normal text.

    2) If the tab moves you forward 1 square at a time while in an inline
    equation I wonder if it doesn't make sense that shift-tab should
    move you back 1 square at a time.

    3) I spend a lot of time manipulating equations and one thing would
    be pure silver and gold. That is with a single key stroke (say 
    alt-something_or_other) the current line would be inserted to the
    line below. (I'm talking about inline math equations) I'm aware of 
    the various cut and paste options and key strokes that do this and do
    use them but they are awkward and time consuming and force you to remove
    your hands from a set position on the keyboard to the mouse or to the
    cursor keys.
  
    Regards Bruce
