The other -part flows from the screen or is just not shown. What extra things do -you need to get the board positioned in the middle of the screen? Last I knew, a suitable resource specification like: Metafont*geometry: 500x600+200+200 (in your .xresources or equivalent) would do what you want. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Laurence G.
