yes it is, thanks.
it just wasn't working with the shiftKey before.
wouldn't go to the arrowkey handler, now OK.

my solution uses the loc, but i like your 
lefts, tops approach better, the move commnd
takes
a x,y input so i just go with the loc for now
for consistancy.

incidently, this is a nice intro to the case,
break
control structure!
