no - it is an idiotic interface, but have got used to it. The worst thing about it is that one cannot open multiple copies of the same program. Sometimes when programming, I like to have one copy of my editor open with one file on one monitor and another copy of the editor open with another file on the other monitor. And I am used to having icons for all my open programs neatly lined up along the bottom of my screen, and clicking the one I want. Now I have to keep banging on the top right of my screen with the mouse to do that ... -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
