(i.e., don't assume > I am a fool) It's not too bad having to press 'Del' and 'Enter' when you remove files.

I suppose I'd have to re-configure that 'expert' mode anyway to suit me. | Urban Fredriksson |"The enemy of your enemy is not | I do NOT speak | | Stockholm, Sweden | neccesarily your friend." | for my employer! |
