Jim,

I have only had this problem since I started with RR 3.0.

I sympathize with your problem. It is hard work without the keyboard  
equivalents.

I don't know whether to report this as a bug. So far you and I are  
the only ones I know of with the problem.

Anyone else out there? Does "Command-Shift -" uncomment the selected  
text in RR 3.0 running on the Mac (10.4.11)?
