Scroll Lock Key..
-
The Windows user interface guidelines say that if the Scroll lock key is active, using the keyboard arrow keys should scroll the active window (for instance in a text editing window, the caret remains in the middle while the text scrolls up and down). If the scroll lock is not active, then the arrow keys should move the caret within the window (the text remains fixed and the caret moves).

Back in the dim dark 80's, my Apple ][ used CTRL-S to stop/resume scrolling of text, for exmaple during a directory listing. I'm a relative PC newbie ( migrated when Amiga went belly up ), but I presume it's function would have been similar ?

You're thinking of the Pause key, actually. Hit Pause to pause(!) the scrolling of text, any other key to unpause. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/

Sys Rq = System Request || System Required, Pronunciation " Siss Wreck " Only going by memory , the "SysRq" key was IBM specific, and was used for switching sessions on mini's and Mainframes Terminals etc. Eg I remember logging on several times , One session would be compiling , one session would be linking , and one sesion I'd be editing in ! And I'd flick from one session to another as I worked, This would increase my productivity 3-fold. Also the SysRq Key could reset the terminal when it became locked up on a LAT line. Shucks I've just shown how old I am :-) Apparently "SysRq" is still used in Linux But not Windows, Although I think we can Program it in C++ WinApi, Regardz Colin Do Geese See God

This reminds me of the virtual window managers in Unix (old Sun box I think - was long time ago). I remember having a setup where I had 4 windows - one for email, one for editing/compiling, one for surfing and one for writing up results. It was so cool to be able to flip between the screens, with each screen setup with it's own icons. I wonder why Windows has never embraced the Virtual Window thing... cheers, Chris Maunder

Which brings to mind the question: If you hit the pause key and it appears to do nothing, has it, or has it not, achieved it's stated function? Woo - a bit too Zen for a Wednesday... cheers, Chris Maunder

Colin - I'm getting addicted to your sigs. Do you want me to implement multiple sigs, or sig-a-day, or random-sig-o-matic? I just wanna make it easy for you to change them :) cheers, Chris Maunder

Gee Chris, A random-sig-o-matic soundz like a kool idea ! However , I'm unsure if others would enjoy/utilize it. Todayz sig is specially for you mate :-) Hey what happened to that Chat thingy you were making for Bart. Regardz Colin RedoC ++ Coder

Sweet. We can all be 3l1t3, d00d And that "chat thingy I was making for Bart" will have to wait! (actually I think a "chat thingy I can plug in without actually doing any work" would be nicer. Any ideas? Anyone? Anyone?) cheers, Chris Maunder

I think a 3rd party freebie would be good enough for starters, There is no use putting in a stack of work for something that maybe no-body will use. Regardz Colin A Santa dog lived as a devil god at NASA

My thoughts exactly. And it would leave me more time for sig-o-rama.asp. cheers, Chris Maunder

Actually, the Amiga used to offer that as well, however each screen could be a different resolution and color depth. You could also have part of one screen visible with part of another also visible. Very cool. Windows does have virtual desktops. There are lots of apps to help you take advantage of that.

Actually, WindowsNT has support for 255 virtual desktops built into the kernel (not Win9x though). Apparently, an applet has never been written by MS to configure and/or access these desktops. There are a number of managers available as shareware. A few do use the built in Virutal Desktop apis, but most fake it (yuck). -Mike Stevenson Owner, Liquid Mirror Software CoderX@liquidmirror.com

I'm just about buing a Java-Applet-baed chat-component for a current project. I'll give response of how good it worked as soon as we are done. Uwe Keim http://www.zeta-software.de

An IRC channel somewhere would be nice. Then you can have a Java applet on the webpage for easy access, but people can also use better IRC client applications if they want to. (And people can sit in the channel all day and maybe answer the odd question if someone comes in for advice. I've almost always got an IRC client loaded...)
