Hi Helen

Thanks for responding. I did not get a lot of responses on this and I 
agree with your points. I do not want to change things people are used 
to - but I wonder how to eventually make a change. Any suggestions would 
be welcome.

If I did make the change as I had suggested, you and others would still 
be able to go to the key mappings and change it back to the way you like it.

For now, I am going to map bookmark to the existing select keys plus 
Ctrl+K. People will have the option of remapping the enter key to 
something else, or mapping other keys to bookmark.
