Does anyone actually use the Scroll Lock key?

Deozaan:
And all these years I thought its purpose was to prevent the screen/window/application from scrolling.

superboyac:

No that's the Pause key. Go to a cmd window and type dir %tmp% and try it. Ctrl-S does the same thing. :) Leveraging my DOS 2 skills is the reason I will never be a Mac user. Usually I say that seriously, in this case, not so much because I don't actually use that anymore. I just do something like
dir %tmp%>deletme.txt
deleteme.txt

and it pops up in Notepad. Redirection of course is also a leveraged DOS 2 skill. (yeah I know they stole it from CP/M and Unix)
