Neither of them made sense to me. Furthermore, Qtext conforms to the Win3.1 language switching convention, right-alt-shift always switches to Hebrew while left-alt-shift always switches to English, while Win9x uses both alt-shift simply as switch language, which means that the language shown on the toolbar is not necessarily the language Qtext writes in. -- Thanks, Uri http://translation.israel.net ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
