The problem isn't exactly with my computer.  I connect to the Usenet
through a free online service called the Freenet which I connect through a
Telnet connection.  As such, it uses only text-commands.

I guess it would have been better if I describe my computer better.  When
I said I didn't have a mouse, I meant in relation to Internet access.  I
*do* have a mouse.  I just can't use it for what I use my computer for(The
Usenet + Email), so it doesn't really matter to me.  In fact I only use
the mouse once whenever I turn the computer(to maximize the window).

It's not that bad though.  When using the editor that edits my email and
usenet posting within the FreeNet, there is a provision to delete an entire
line of text(pressing CTRL-K).  But if you have a large posting (like the
original text I was refering to) it takes 2 seconds for the entire document
to adjust to pressing the CTRL-K Key once.  And if your like me, wasting
a minute or two deleting 35-40 lines of text can seem like an eternity.

Thanks for your suggestions, though.  I like the fact that Microsoft built
in so many keyboard commands when constructing Windows.  The one that I
probably use most(and was kinda surprised that it was still in Win95+98)
is ALT+TAB to switch documents.
