Due to too much M$windows usance. Admittedly nobody told you, you could get back to the GUI (Graphical User Interface) with CTRL-ALT-F7, but then: If you are on new turf (which you aparently are) tread warily and look before you leap! Certainly do NOT rely on For what it's worth: In DOS mode your M$ run-PC would have rebooted without warning too, normal procedure. Don't blame helpfull souls for your own ignorance! We do our best anyway:o) Good luck, HarM
