Move the mouse cursor one inch below the top of the screen. 2. Hold down the left Amiga key. 3. Press down the left mouse button. 4. Move your mouse toward yourself. The entire screen should scroll down, following the mouse. This does assume you haven't changed the screen drag key from the left-Amiga via Preferences. You can do this with any screen. Quite useful for programs that open custom screens with no drag bars. You can even move some screens left & right this way.... Dan Zerkle zerkle@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu (916) 754-0240 Amiga...
