(-: I am concentrating on one thing, typing away, then I'm supposed to stop mid-thought because some other application finally got around to doing something? At least the way things are now I can finish the thought before switching my attention rather than trying to reconstruct it after being interrupted. If that other application isn't prompting me to activate the defense shield because the missiles are incoming then it can wait, otherwise it's as egocentric as the focus-stealers. > Fortunately, you don't have to worry about my fixing > it.

It has been nice for me that ctwm inherited much of that. -- Mark
