] No, just select F9/Options/Appearence... -------------------------------------------------------- OK, that works nicely on the new version. But the old mc, lacking the facilities of <smart loading the skins>, wouldn't have provided the big selection if they were not effective in changing font/color. I just need where to copy the <skinFile> to ? ================ ]> So how do I select & USE one of the many <skins>? ] One upgrades mc to a version that is NOT ~5 years old. It would be an affront to my engineering competence to 'buy a new one'. I want to speak to the engine-year, not the sales-lady!
