Quote - 2: in the camera manager, right under the scene preview, use the arrow-like icon to move the camera forward/backward.

I noticed the arrow like icon but what I was looking for was a key, as in the keys on the keyboard, to move the camera forward in a continuous motion as would typically be found in terrain oriented applications. Having to always switch back and forth between zoom and rotate is a slow way of moving around. Often the arrow keys and/or W,A,S,D are used for this. It is sometimes refered to as "fly-mode." I tried the Vue5 demo a while ago and I'm almost certain there was some sort of way to do this but I can't remember how. Anyone know?

Quote - 3: Keep the right mouse button pressed in the views, you'll see a hand appear, then drag the hand around to pan the camera.

That doesn't  "pan" the camera in the 3D viewport, that engages the "rotate camera" or  "mouse-look"  motion. There are separate settings for "pan" and "rotate camera" in the key config but they are both set to right mouse button by default, which is odd. Changing the "pan" entry seems to effect only the 2D viewports, not the 3D.

Thanks for the reply.
