What you say above applies to you just as much as it applies to me. You started this by saying BASIC==BAD, you assumed that what you thought was best for everyone, if you like it everyone must, so if you think is it bad everyone must. All of QB mouse function commands can be worked from the keyboard using various ctrl sequences. But when you can't remember what the sequence is there is always the menu. > The integrated enviroment that you so had acts just like the rest of the > windows enviroment. >Ah, another strike against them. The windows interface, MS-DOS and the >8086 architechtures deserve each other. The windows enviroment works considerably easier than the X-windows enviroment, If you hate windows so much, why bother to flame anyone discussing what you consider a worthless. Why are you even putting your 2 cents worth in in a group that you just said discusses something worthless? -- Rogerhef@Matt.ksu.ksu.edu Roger Heflin EECE Grad Student (913) 532-5600
