Just hit q in mplayer to quit. Plain old mplayer doesn't have any kind of gui besides the video window and is completely controlled through the keyboard and/or command-line options. There is a gui version called gmplayer, but I really don't like it. It's just too buggy. xine works like pretty much any other video player program, but some of the skins I think are harder to identify the buttons. My favorite skin is xinetic, which is usually the default. Try man xine and man mplayer for more info. > > gary > > > > -- > Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen.
