Gulp, b-b-b-but I have no lid . . . snif, snif How does my GigE TiBook know to sleep? I've perused all Apple's tech docs and haven't yet discovered the mechanism that induces sleep when the lid is closed. In the meantime, by a stroke of great luck I managed to open and find the help viewer, where on the page about mirroring displays I found a link to open the Displays Pref pane. A scant few minutes (though many curses) later I managed to grapple the primary pref window and dragging that to where I could see it was finally able to select that confounded little Mirror Displays checkbox. Whew. But I'd still like to know about the lid-shut-sleep thingy, if anyone knows, do please tell. :-) Dan K ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
