"Back in the day" of DOS Quicken...

.(and if I'm remembering this correctly), if "today's" closing stock price was unchanged from "yesterday's" closing price then "today's" closing price would show up with "est" alongside. Deleting "today's" closing price and then typing in the unchanged "today's" closing price didn't remove the "est." However, there was a key combination {CTRL}



- * (?), {Shift}-* (?) that would eliminate the "est", meaning you didn't have to go through the process of typing in a new (changed) "today's" closing price and then typing in a new "today's" (unchanged) closing price in order to get a price that was unchanged without the "est."



That key combination seems to have been lost with the migration to Windows, or at least it's never worked for me. Is there a magic key combination in Windows Quicken that replicates the action of the DOS Quicken?

I use a very old Quicken for Windows but last time I tried the combination was Ctrl-Z.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately in my very current Quicken for Windows {CTRL} - z doesn't do anything.

The meaning of control Z within Quicken is set in the Quicken Preferences Setup. It appears the default is to set Control Z to the Windows definition which is undo.
