I don't see how it could possibly be Program Manager that is handling Alt-Tab, since it works inside DOS boxes as well, which is really outside progman's domain. Besides, I've used usher for my shell, without progman loaded, and have had no problems using alt-tab or any of the other Windows hotkeys. I use the METZ Task Manager now...not very sophisticated menuing, but it gets the job done and I like to avoid my mouse as much as possible. -- Jason Merrill jmerrill@jarthur.claremont.edu
