    i thought that, too. but a surprising number of them do. i feel like such an old-timer, doing everything with the keyboard. -c

          Who was the genius at M$ who decide to change the editor or it occasionally: 1. Inserts Ctrl Characters 2. Refuses Undo 3. Crashes 4. Missing Key strokes Normski. - the next bit of code is self modifying ... jmp 0xCODE

            I never use the VS toolbars at all, sometimes I wonder why I even bother having them displayed on the screen. If there is no keyboard way of doing something, it probably isn't worth doing ;-) Michael :-) Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana

                    I use them all the time. But that is because I am left handed and most all keyboard shortcuts work better for right handled people. Maybe I should sue... :) Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

                      Finally someone agrees with what I have believed all along! Personally I think they should get the change over and done with and move the close button across to the other side next to the icon. I *really* hate it when I overjudge the distance and close a window. :((

                        The thing is, it's the perfect place for it. When a window is maximized, you can hit that button every time with just a flick of the mouse, no need to judge distance *at all*. What they should have done was move the *other* two buttons over to the left side. But i guess that wouldn't have looked enough like Win3.1...
