I know its a horrible configuration, I agree. But its a on a PC in a learning centre - and we found it easier for complete beginners to see and understand what the computer is doing when we set it to open a new window each time. compete novices understand how directory systems and trees work better this way, It helps in the learning process initially, later we show them how to define options like this to their own tastes. As for the weird spelling of richard on his login, it is completely deliberate - he has been using this for 20-odd years he says, and has some low-level passwords done like that too, various deliberate misspellings of his name. >- he opened 'in a new window' - how can one survive with that? see above. much easier to explain to a complete non-computer user what is going on when they can see the trail left behind them. a bit like opening folders within folders in a filing cabinet. > probably a little lightheaded due to Guinness (two Ns, two Ss) granted >but nonetheless invaluable... >Stuart and I had none that day (so far) but about 9 the previous day >(8-)# And a few that night, plus Roy and I did quite well on sunday evening/night.....
