    Doug and Wendy,

    I didn't want to confuse things, but Visual Cad allows both 2 letter and 3 letter shortcuts - mostly they are 2 letter though. You abviously can't use a 3 letter shortcut that has the same first 2 letters the same as a 2 letter shortcut.
    You cannot use a single letter shortcut (although you could assign a macro that consisted of a 2 letter shortcut to 1 key, or icon, or menu item - all menus are also customisable).
    The program knows as soon as you type the second letter that it is a shortcut. If there is no 2 letter shortcut nothing happens. If you then type the third letter that is a shortcut, the program recognises that.

    AND, I also didn't mention that it is really easy to string commands together in a script to automate tasks.
