Errr... that's not "3.1.36" you wrote in your bug report. It's "3.1.31-6" or the 6th build of .31 ... I think. But you're posilutely right. Ouchie! I would have never run into that -- more likely other things -- I have a Ricoh bridge. (Hardly surprising as I've a Ricoh laptop) As we get more lures towards buying new toys for our laptops the disparity between "because they work" and "but the mappings/modules are only in the new code" will just get worse. We really have to make them get this nailed down before woody is sealed in metel-oxides and plastic. * Heather Stern * star@ many places...
