Well Mark, I'm still teaching word processing and the short cuts are CTRL-S and CTRL-L
and
I mention it most every day. I can remember using an Applewiter-clone and the formatting
commands
haven't chnaged. Why do away with things that work and make sense even if students
forget them!!!
I try not to scream though. Not good for a teacher.

I can still remember screaming at my father (I must have been 13 at time
time) "it's CTRL-S to save, and CTRL-L to load. How could they make it
simpler for you?" when he was trying to use Applewriter //e, a very nice,
full featured, non-WYSIWYG word processor. Good old . formatting commands.
