Zain,

I did attend your webinar on Tips and Tricks. I was happy to see so many things that I have been wanting for. Thank you for the presentation.

Sunil -- Glad you liked it :)

Paul -- Yeah, CTRL + SHIFT + T is by far the keystroke people will use most often. Makes moving a line of code down very, very fast when compared to cut and paste operations.
