You don't have to skip the upgrades. You should install them. Your configuration file will not be updated automatically, but it is not that hard to diff the old & new configs and pull in the new changes yourself. As an advanced user wanting a non-standard config, you should be comfortable with this. If you also feel that the default PDF tab completion could be better, file a bug. -Forest -- Forest Bond http://www.alittletooquiet.net
