Thanks Chris,
I did at one time have the cube enabled, but I just checked it and it
wasn't...So after checking it, it now works...
Thanks for the reminder...It's to bad, but you would think that they
would have a list of key commands for eachone of the effects, maybe they
do but haven't seen it...
Again thanks for the reply... ;-)
