I don't know if it's been reported. I've never reported it, but I have (in the privacy of my own home) called down curses on the programmers when I've had this problem.

Have you read "THE SECOND COMING — A MANIFESTO" By David Gelernter (http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/gelernter/gelernter_p1.html). I quote: 2. Because we don't believe in technological change (we only say we do), we accept bad computer products with a shrug; we work around them, make the best of them and (like fatalistic sixteenth-century French peasants) barely even notice their defects — instead of demanding that they be fixed and changed. I'm sure people on this list will cite this list as a counter-argument to the above quote (because the list is full of criticisms of how TB! and other software works). My response is: Many people post complaining about the editor. The replies can usually be summarised as "Get used to it, you'll love it". That is, change yourself not the software, which is essentially what the quote above is saying. -- Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat 1.60i Windows XP 5.1
