As soon as the option key is depressed (in combination with the others) the cursor becomes a crosshair and nothing is entered into the field.

I'm sure it's a simple thing but you don't get a lot of flexibility for experimenting in that window.

OK, it's one of those mysteries

I've got a Powerbook _and_ an Apple Bluetooth keyboard.

When I try from the Bluetooth keyboard Option gives me the crosshair cursor. So I now tried from the PB keyboard and Option does not give me the crosshair but still nothing goes into the text field.

So I tried simply Control-d from the PB keyboard and it works just fine now. Why is Option needed at all?

All is OK now but still mysterious.
