As I just realized that I was some absorbed with the issue of having to double click on one pixel that I didn't realize that I was totally wrong here in reference to clicking and dragging. There is a delay before the icon is highlighted and you can drag it (although you can actually start to drag before its highlighted) that probably has nothing to do with the click response setting. It doesn't bother me that much, and I don't think it takes even a full second, but it is there. I would tend to agree that the way the Mac interface handles both click-and-drag, and double clicking is a better, easier for most folks. But, I don't think the ST way is so bad that it deserves extreme criticism. Oh well, just thought I would admit my mistake before someone called me on it (if they haven't already).... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The following opinions are my own and not those of anyone else who might be registered on fquest.fidonet.org.
