Hello:

A bit more of a sum.  Here's something from Dan:

        Gary,
        I am able to pan any direction using the mouse with ALT-C.  It only
        works when editing a shape file, coverage, etc. It doesn't work when
        just drawing graphics.

        I didn't have to create these hot-keys in ArcMap. From what an ESRI
rep
        told me last week. one of their programmers put these hot keys in
ArcMap
        without telling anyone, and they are just finding out about them
now.

So...there are functions in ArcMap that ESRI doesn't know about.  Hmm...

I have now created my own hotkeys, but I can only create a pan key by having
a separate one for each direction.  The tools/customize/keyboard option
doesn't seem to support a click&pan hot key like the one in ArcInfo and
AV3x.  I'm not editing a shapefile, so I'm out of luck with Dan's tool.
