Seems like it's a broad enough request that it could stand a thread of its own.

I think this weekend I *might* break down and put Leopard on my PowerBook, which means no Classic, and I'd have to use Frame for Windows in one of the virtualization products. Uck.

If you learned Mac-only KB commands, this is correct, but if you
learned FM's Escape-key command-key sequences, they are cross-platform
for Mac, Windows, and unix.

Me, too.

Peter,

I've got many/most of the usual Escape key sequences that I need.
Started learning them with Frame 4 under Windows, alas, I started with
Frame 3.2 on the Mac and I've always found the the Mac command keys
usually take less keystrokes than the corresponding Escape/Control
keys/sequences. But I am glad to have them than have to use the darn
mouse/trackpad/trackball aw forget it the darn pointer.

Tim,

If its a powerbook, then the virtualization products won't work. You
need a Macbook or Macbook Pro. I use Parallels to run FrameMaker 8. What
my fingers miss most is they keyboard commands. You've got my vote for
Mac OS X FrameMaker.
