I'm guessing that the first one is the navigator, second is the main email program, and third is the email composer. That follows with my using one to spawn the next. All three are still open on the still frozen gui on F7 (just checked). Although I refer to the gui as being frozen, I don't think it is. With the mouse pointer still following the motions of the mouse, and the clock still ticking away, it makes me think that something else is confusing it. Alt-Tab does nothing, nor does Alt-Esc, Ctrl-Alt-Del, and not even mouse pointer context. Even Ctrl-Alt-[->] (right arrow) doesn't move to Workspace 2, but Ctrl-Alt-Fx switches to the appropriate console. Maybe the mouse got confused. It did freeze up during the midst of an attempt to drag an icon from one place to another. I'm just not quite ready to try anything that could cause Mozilla to self-destruct until I've made an acceptable effort to get my email. > >How are you searching.
