Well, this may not be nicely documented, but here's a bug report. System setup: Display model A3000 with 1084 monitor 2 Mb RAM (I think the HD was 40 Mb, and it may have had some kind of large drawing tablet connect to it) While running Commoditites Exchange and IHelp, with nothing else running (except maybe the standard CLI), I was flipping through the windows using the F1 key. I held it down (or just tapped it very quickly, I forget which). For about five seconds. The system froze up completely. No system error message. I ended up rebooting. >>Rodney Ricks, Morehouse College >Martin Taillefer INTERNET: martin@pnt.CAM.ORG BIX: vertex Rodney (again) -- "We may have come over here in different ships, but we're all in the same boat now." -- Jesse Jackson // \\ // Rodney Ricks, Morehouse College \/
