If the problem with mouse+keyboard is that you have to take your hands off the keyboard why not build the mouse into the keyboard. After all most terminals have separate keyboards designed to wander around the desk anyway, so just build the ball into the underside of the keyboard and bingo !! It all seems so obvious, so what have I forgotten ?? -- Chris Seabrook cds@root.co.uk +44 1 726 6501
