I believe lirc has a Windows equivalent, so assuming you have an IR receiver, you could try that out (I haven't but don't see why it wouldn't work for Cygwin/X applications too). Alternatively, you could just buy one of those remote-sized, wireless, usb keyboards. -joel -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
