I can't remember how many times I've told people in Sweden, who speak good English and are used to computers, that CTRL actually means something and just isn't a random combination of letters. A lof of people just haven't been able to figure that out for themselves, so apparently it's not very obvious for non-native English speakers. -- Fredrik Roubert [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
