Hi David,

Yeah, there is a flag available that decides what to do in the L/U case
situation I forget exactly where it is, but try Big Button, then the Access
Options button, and then wander around that screen. I'm pretty sure it's
there on that screen. Might require a PageDown or two to see it.

Vague I know, but I'm relatively confident that it's there somewhere; and
there, once you find it, it leads to two choices: "for this app" and "for
all apps".

Arthur
