A little shaky advice: 1. check out Bruce's recent message: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/power-pro/message/24228 I have a script that I use to connect and disconnect, and I have pointed an unused keyboard button to it and named it "Toggle Online Status". The script: if(not modem) do "C:\WINDOWS\system32\rasphone.exe" -d connectoidname else do "C:\WINDOWS\system32\rasphone.exe" -h connectoidname endif This is in Windows XP SP2 Home Edition and probably the file will not be there in previous versions of Windows with the possible exception of NT 4.0. May not be the best syntax, but it works in 4.2 I am looking for support for virtual keys, which I think would reference the buttons on the keyboard. It will take some testing but I'll be able to find out what's what. Soon, I hope. I just bought the Logitech "Access" keyboard, and I'm very happy with it. I think it beats my previous keyboard, the Microsoft Internet keyboard, which was a lot more expensive. Good luck. Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
