Dave have a look at NeoSofts programs and Solaris CDE. Multiple desktops are handy. I maximise 99% of the time HEY!!!. I just thought I would say to all those gui designers. A recent court decision in Australia declared that computer programs thta were not designed to cater for all users were *discrimantory*. Loosely translated: blind people can not use a mouse therefore design a mouse only program was discrimination. This is only a note to consider. But a more potent argument to some would be have you every tried to use some programs when your mouse mysteriously stops working? ----- Sincerely, Mathew Hounsell Mat.Hounsell at Mailexcite.Com Free web-based email, Forever, From anywhere! http://www.mailexcite.com
