  I know it has something to do with the binding keys, but movement is 
too jerky. I tried a suggestion of binding the left and right arrow to 
the left and right strafe, but that does not help.
  I tried to turn left or right with the mouse and it bounces me all 
over the screen.

I always used the default key bindings except for changing quicksave and
quickload to F11 and F12.  I don't know why it would be jerky.  Do you
have a mouse with lots of buttons and functions or perhaps some other
software running in the background that might be intercepting the key
presses?  

I do disable a program called multiplicity that I use to control several
screens at once, otherwise my mouse cursor will scroll over onto the other
screens leaving my game running out of control.

Michael,
  I usually use the default keys also. It has something to do with 
turning right or left and then moving forward. I read on the net about 
you can look left or right and your feet stand still.
  A standard 3 button mouse with the scroll button in the middle is all 
I use.
  Thanks about the Cheat help. I was hitting the chair rather then using 
the chair.
Albert
