Yes I still use it and prefer it to 6.3 or 7.1. I started using Westlaw in
the early 80's. I cannot imagine not using the keyboard commands. I haven't
checked recently but there was no "goback" command when going from case to
Shepards or Keycite on new versions. I especially like being able to link
commands such as printing, you can do that on keyboard but not with mouse. I
believe that these new versions are another example of "dumbing down"
Thanks for letting me vent. By the way I've called customer service at
Westlaw and told them my thoughts, I asked if they were trying to get me to
use Lexis.

I'm curious if anyone else still uses Westmate 5.2 as opposed to the
>web product and 6.3 or the newest release, and why. I'll summarize for
