- Hi, everybody!
-
- I don't send frequent postings to this list, due in part to the fact
- that my english is not very good (I always get mixed up with those damn
- english prepositions!!!) and in part because I don't have much time. But
- here goes a humble contribution, I don't know if it deserves to be includ
- ded into the FAQ tips because it is, in my opinion, completely useless.
-
- Some companies like to ship their products with a few undocumented
- commands. Microsoft, for instance, has a sequence of undocumented key-
- strokes that lead to an "animation show" on the Excel screen showing
- its logo beating and defeating the Lotus 123 logo. (that would be
- probably prohibited here in Brazil, but it looks funny to me). I've
- been told that there is also an unknown keystroke sequence in Windows
- 3.1 which shows the names of the software developers as well. By the
- way, if you know such sequence, please, let me know.
-
- I like to play with my keyboard keys, trying some weird combinations
- to find new things. When I read on the PM FAQ tips document that one
- could see a relation of the current filters by pressing CNTRL + about
- Pm, I wondered what would happen if I also pressed the SHIFT key.
-
- ...and that's how I found this completely undocumented feature of PM.
- It brings to an animation show with the names of Aldus Page Maker
- developers. Unusefull, but I think those guys, who have provided us
- a nice program like this should deserve the kindness of a documented
- feature.
