Bill Actually what you describe (I think) is what I want to do.
Repeating. Lets say I have the Main Email folder of Entourage open
and all the messages are listed by date and I want to delete the
first 10 messages. I start at the top, holding down the shift key,
and using the cursor down key I begin to select the first ten.....but
I accidentally cursor past the 10th one to the 11th one which I want
to keep. Still holding the shift key I attempt, with the shift key
still held down, with the arrow keypad to reverse direction and
cursor up (and more or less un-highlight) the 11th item. It won't do
it. It doesn't move up and won't un-highlight. No error message or
anything. But it will continue to move down. For sure not the same
action as in Outlook 2007 and I would expect to be able to go up or
down.
Ah, keyboarding all the way. I see.
This may not be the same behavior in Outlook but it is consistent with
the Mac OS X Finder. That tells me that Entourage is probably using
Apple's own display and interface mechanisms rather than re-creating
their own.
If I go into XCode, provided by Apple and used to build Entourage 2008,
then I see the same behavior shown by Entourage and the Finder.
I use Thunderbird for posting in these newsgroups and Transmit for FTP
and see in them the behavior you're wanting. They may not be built with
XCode but I don't know.
I suspect this issue is an interface issue caused by using Apple's code
rather than the being code created by Microsoft but that's just a guess.
