I think he raise a valid point. At this jucture, you are being asked to make a decision without being told (to the newbie, at least) what you must make the dicision about. (What is proftp? cups? What do they do?) Is the discussion of the different servers and what they do available in the manual? If so, then perhaps just a reference to the manual, or even its inclusion as a Help item would suffice. If not, then this is an area that needs further examination from a usability standpoint. -- Hoyt http://www.maximumhoyt.com A -- Top posting. Q -- What's the most annoying habit in email and usenet?
