:-) For all I know I got that idea from DOS edit or Notepad, both of which I have not used since Win2k (my last Windows was w98). I just had the knowledge that I've used some stuff that didn't recognize Ctrl+S as save, but I can't remember what software it was. So yeah, it might have been DOS Edit or Notepad. Obviously, old habits die hard. SteveT Steve Litt Recession Relief Package http://www.recession-relief.US Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/stevelitt
