And now you have ->STR, instead of -> STR.

Also, you may (or may not) find it quicker just to hold down the alpha
key and press S, T, R, in sequence, then let go of the alpha key. You
can even keep it held down while typing the numbers and [+], [-], and
[*] (alas, the [/] key is shared with Z).
Or, instead of scrolling to XMIT from wherever you were last, just hold

the ALPHA key and press X, to get you to X in the catalog more quickly.
(You can also press [right-shift][0] to go the entries starting with
-> to get to ->STR.)
That's easier, yes.

No need for that!
