Greetings,

40 years? a mere kid! (smiles), I can give you 52 years!

My first experience in 1969-70 with a real computere was an IBM1620
mainframe, on which we used Fortran2.

-Things like this happen more than we might think; and, at least when I do 
-stuff like this, it is a pure accident even though I've been using 
-computers for around 40 years or so.
-Then, like you, it frustrates me to no end until, of course, when I 
-discover, totally by accident, what caused this anomaly -- and then I can 
-laugh at myself for my own stupidity, carelessness -- call it what you 
-like.
-Other times, one might create a short cut, such as this was, not realizing 
-that it is modifyying something that should have never been modified -- 
-and, if changed, more thought should have been taken to see the 
-consequences.

-Now, if I had discovered this unintentional hotkey, rather than deleting 
-it, I would have likely changed it to hopefully something more 
-non-intrusive.
-But, then, of course, I later might discover that it interfered with 
-something else.
-
-Thanks for sharing.
