Besides, any program that didn't know about it (i.e., anything that exists now) would be a frustration to people who got used to it. (You *could* patch the Event Manager to map clicks to clicks-with-modifiers-down, and maybe even clicks to double-clicks. It'd be pretty evil, though. No way would I install an INIT like that in my system.) | Francis Stracke | My opinions are my own.
