Yup.  keypad * works.

It's also listed as a shorcut in the Outline menu for the Get Info action.
So I guess the "bug" is that you can use the same key-combo for two
different actions, and Radio will pick one but still display the shortcut in
both menus.

OK - I can still use the notepad and cut-n-paste (see next comment)

Yup.  Will do.  Major pain in that the quickest way to recover is to restart
the entire machine.  Otherwise the ports (80, 5335) stay busy for a while
and radio is not happy.  This is a microsoft bug in that sockets bound to a
program that crashes are not released as one might expect - we ran into it
with the old streaming server at a recent job of mine.

I like it.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.  I'll visit Brent's page.
