   OK.  But I don't understand WHY a simply down-arrow can't land on all of     
   the items in the menu.  The down arrow only selects either [1] Help on     
   help, or [2] Command line switches:

   ..instead, we have to use .  (I mean, the top menu uses arrows to     
   navigate), so why not this menu?   
      
   It just gets a little confusing when to use the tab and when arrow keys     
   would work.  :(   
      
   But thanks for the heads-up!
