Oh I do it remotely now, over the phone, "...now tell me what you see...OK, now click 'next' and tell me what you see...alright, now click 'browse'..."

What they really need is an internect connection a little faster than dial-up. :-) Bryan ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
