Hi Linda, thanks for your reply ! :) Currently I am at my linux box at home and have no possibility to use the new tricks. When I am back at my working place (next week on Monday I hope to find time for that, time is in a hurry currently...) I will be happy to kill all dead keys to become no-dead-key (or should I write "undead keys"? "zombie keys"? "Keys of the Undead"? ;) ) One question: What means "International keyboard"? Qwertz? Qwerty? What about the german umlauts? sz? Thanks again in advance for your help, have a nice evening! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
