So if you want to place a mouse click in a window but *not* bring it to the front, place the pointer in the window and hit Alt-LeftAmiga (or Alt-Commodore, depending on your keyboard). If you turn off the automatic window activation feature, you can use this "feature" to change the active window without disturbing the depth arrangment of the windows. I suspect the reason Matt does not want to include a clock in Dmouse is one of philosophy -- Dmouse is an INPUT handler, and clocks have very little to do with input. If you want a clock, why not run your own? I use the "title bar" clock myself; if you use interlace, the ledclock by Ali Ozer is really cool. --M Michael Portuesi / Carnegie Mellon University ARPA/UUCP: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: rainwalker@drycas "Memories are uncertain friends, when recalled by messages" -- OMD, "Messages"
