I believe these "standards" predate MS. And they are used by essentially 
every KDE and Gnome app and many others on every platform. There is no 
standard for such things, but these keystrokes are very much a defacto 
"standard". And your trying to talk them down doesn't change that.

The toolbar in *every* gui editor gives you these. I'm not looking for a 
gui editor. We have those in spades. I'm looking for a *command line* 
editor. Course you'd have to read my messages to know that.
