I'm looking at the keyboard I'm at now, and a few others, and I see: [ Print Screen / SysReq ] As one key. Am I missing something, or did the GNOME guys really choose the correct key? If I'm not mistaken, Linux has an option where the SysReq key becomes a special key that works when the kernel freezes. I seem to remember Linux developers using it. (I also seem to remember someone getting flamed for suggesting that FreeBSD use it.) -- Mike Burns [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://netgeek.ws _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
