Navigation from screen to screen in the Family and Pedigree views
requires 90 year old men with shaky mouses to pin the arrow to a small
red triangle.

Surely Bruce has a better way to do that - I ain't Bruce.

Unfortunately, I don't use RM -- I'm still a hold-out with the last version of The Master Genealogist (and miss Ultimate Family Tree -- which
had the best report writer capability I've ever seen).

I'm presuming that is supposed to represent Morse code SOS... However, the elements in simplistic Morse are dot and dash. In representing those in text, dit and dah, respectively, are used. Furthermore, to represent /characters/ the elements of each character are elided:

There's a clumsy way to do it. Say you're in Family view with the
Father of the family you're interested in highlighted, and you want to
scroll to the paternal ancestors of him. The "easy" way (for steady
hands) is the red triangles. The clumsy way is to simply click on the
next generation person, then on the pedigree view, then back to family
view, and that person is now at the focus.
Three clicks instead of one, but it's much easier to "hit" the larger
boxes than the small triangles.

In pedigree view, especially when showing 6 generations, I use this
technique if I want to skip over several generations. In this case,
it's faster than going via the red triangles. 3 clicks, click on the
person, click on family view, click on pedigree view.

Thanks - I was aware. WA4QZU

I did not know what to use since most people don't seem to have the
Amateur Radio License.

There's always punctuation

I shudda thot of that. I'm a little slow this week - wife and son in
hospital with pneumonia and I was in ER with bronchitis. Life happens.

since underlines tend to merge, I write Morse code with dashes/minus
signs: ... --- ...
so there is a bit of a space between the dashes, even if a bit more out
of line.
