Do this by editing the ROv# resource corresponding to your Rom-version (or change it in all of them if you don't know the version). You should insert a new entry here with type=WDEF and id=0. This will make the system work the way you want. +-------------------------+--------------------------------+------------------+ | Sven Axelsson | d83_sven_a@tekno.chalmers.se | DISCLAIMER: | | dep:t of Linguistics | (^^ best ^^) | | | univ. of Gothenburg | dlv_sa@hum.gu.se | This is not | | SWEDEN | usdsa@seguc21.bitnet | a disclaimer. | +-------------------------+--------------------------------+------------------+
