I used to use a couple dial-in BBS's back in the late 1980's, early 1990's, but had never heard the term 'reflector' before. I guess you can use any therm that suits you, but you might have some people, not sure what you mean. AS> Nice to know, though to some degree I was kidding with the question. It looked like a legitimate enough question to me.<g> AS> And I'm still laden with a heavy GUI desktop environment. On my workstations,where I have 1 GIG RAM, I run the KDE desktop without any trouble. On my laptop, with 128 MB RAM, I have KDE, but it is really sluggish, so I also have another identity with TWM, Tab Window Manager, which is a very minimal Window Manager. It works good when you don't have a lot of RAM, but it takes a little getting used to, especially if you are coming from a Microsoft Windows environment. -wittig website: http://www.robertwittig.com/ weblog: http://robertcwittig.blogspot.com/ .
