SUMMARY
=======

The Edit menu keyboard commands in the Microsoft Windows operating system
version 3.1 differ from those available in Windows 3.0. These new key
combinations were implemented to standardize keyboard commands in Windows-based
applications.

Note: The Windows 3.0 keystrokes are still available in Windows 3.1 and work
correctly.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The new key combinations correspond to four of the Edit menu commands. The old
and new key combinations for each of these commands are listed in the following
chart:
