    What about trapping the F5 key so that when your users press it a pop up appears saying that the action is forbidden and their logs will be sent to personnel?

    Rewriting Lotus Notes so that emails are called "emails" would be a start.

    Now, EO2, don't get ahead of yourself. EO1 is still mastering the Shift key yet.

    That mid-90s is "new fangled" to EO is probably the biggest concern to his client...

    You can also use F6/Shift-F6 to move focus to the next/previous frame.

    Well, you could on Netscape Navigator, which IIRC was where the "F5 for refresh" thing started back in the mid-90s.

    Your app should obviously auto-update.

    Hope they are not using my Macbook then as all they'll accomplish is jiggling their screen brightness.
