Eric,

the key to display the Arachne Desktop screen is F10, not
Alt-F1. Alt-F1
displays the Arachne homepage, or whatever page you have
selected to be
your default homepage, as every serious Arachne user should
know.

Also, it does *not* depend on whether you use a DSL or an
analog modem
whether Arachne displays the homepage, as I know from my
56Kbit times.
From my experience, Arachne *always* starts at the default
homepage, and
displays an error message if one is not online and the page
cannot be
loaded.

Besides, I regard it as pretty selfish of you that you do
not want
Arachne to behave like it should just because you do not
want to use the
mouse. I know from your earlier statements in this forum
that you are
not the fanatic and mouse-o-phobic DOS user that you pretend
to be. You
use Windows all the time and surf the 'net using a Windows
browser, and
I bet you do it not only with your keyboard.

Arachne is a graphical web browser; from the buttons to the
links
everything has been designed to be most easily accessible
with a
pointing device like a mouse. Most users would find it
awkward to
control everything with the keyboard instead, particularly
if they have
used a browser like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer
before. That
Arachne has so many keyboard shortcuts is an added bonus,
but it
definetely should not be required to press Alt-F1 on
start-up everytime
just to execute a function that is automatic in all major
browsers for
good reason.

Why do *you* not simply press Ctrl-Left everytime you want
to go to the
previously visited page instead of suggesting that others
should press
Alt-F1 to go to the homepage page?
