(OP)
Crystalrae suggested I use Hot Keys to increase my screen working area. What are Hot Keys? Is there a list?
Thanks

RE: Hot Keys

Bill,
Go to your AutoCAD Help and look for "COMMAND ALIASES".
This list all the keyboard shortcuts.

RE: Hot Keys

Look for a file acad.pgp (my home machine has it as aclt.pgp).  This is a text file and part of it has the 'hotkey' assignments.  I've revised a few of them such that 'o' opens a file rather than osnap function.  I'm kinda lazy and like to use my keyboard as much as I can.

By using hotkeys, you can get rid of some of the menu stuff and free up some screen real estate.

RE: Hot Keys

In the acad.mns (or .mnu) look at the section of accelerator keys this controls your alt- ctrl- and function keys
