Sorry, but that really isn't the case. I have the same problem; sometimes I don't even have to actually attack, just wait to _be_ attacked and I'm dumped out. We're talking bug here, not OE (operator error). Besides, when was the last time anyone accidentally hit the ! key? I'd also love to hear of a fix for this one. -- Scott Reynolds rutgers!mailrus!clip!clmqt!scott Enterprise Information System scott@clmqt.marquette.Mi.US "Insufficient facts always invite danger." -- Spock
