Ah! Many thanks. That's perfect.

Yes, I was aware of that one, and use it quite a lot - I find it one of 
Apple's more intuitive keyboard shortcuts.

I've also recently started using Apple-Q and Apple-W to close windows & 
applications - because the keys are so close together I keep finding 
that I'm always quitting OmniWeb rather than closing a single window!

Thanks for eveyone's help,
