Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but Dream Seeker supports most of the shortcut keys listed here:

Funny thing, IE wouldn't let me open that webpage. It had an error and shut down.

[proof]
The original specification for rich edit controls is Microsoft® Rich Edit 1.0; the current specification is Rich Edit 4.1. Each version of rich edit is a superset of the preceding one, except that only Asian builds of Rich Edit 1.0 have a vertical text option. Before creating a rich edit control, you should call the LoadLibrary function to verify which version of Rich Edit is installed. For more information, see What's New in Rich Edit.

That's one of the things that the keyboard shortcuts listed on that page (way down the bottom) allow you to do. Don't ask me why, they just do. =p

*bangs head on desk*
It's a thing you use in a program. You could do it in DreamSeeker, as it uses RichEdit control.

Start -> Programs -> BYOND -> Dream Seeker. =P

RichEdit is a thing that Microsoft made for people to include in their programs so they can have formatted text and images in text boxes. Dream Seeker uses it for the text output pane. You should be able to use those key combinations while Dream Seeker is running, and they'll do stuff to the text output pane.
