That in fact starts with the mouse or item that you selected to look at. It did a nice job of showing off the graphics capabilities as well. I am not sure why it was dropped with release 1.2 and 1.3 but it is what Mr. Bartlett is looking for. Suggest you find a friend with release 1.1 and have a look at it. It might even be something to show at a club meeting since most owners of a 500 or 2000 would have never seen it since it was only on the 1.1 release. -- Dale Miller UUCP: dale@ssbell Sterling Software FSG/IMD INTERNET: dale%ssbell.uucp@uunet.uu.net 1404 Ft.
