Unless you have the DM going so that you can move your cursor by moving the mouse, have the DM going and keydefs set up so that any (every?) key can do exactly what you want it to (there are almost 400 keydefs possible)), have a DM command prompt so you can easily do searches, substitutes, etc, you won't have one as powerful. Maybe in a couple years, OSF will get a decent user interface, and the standard will be as good as what we're giving up. -- jt -- John Thompson Honeywell, SSEC Plymouth, MN 55441 thompson@pan.ssec.honeywell.com Me?
