The upper screen display area lists the number selected, if any, and the total number of items in the current collection. Many undesirable things can and will happen if you are not thinking about what you are doing. And it is necessary to understand the operation of the software you are using. But this is universal, would you prefer the windoz way, question: "Do you really want to do <what-ever>?", at every step of the way? It is *my* job to know what I am doing, and my expectation that the software will operate in an expected, consistant fashion. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
