> Well there's the "problem", right there then :p Well one good thing: the solution will be a _lot_ quicker forthcoming the next time someone reports this problem! ;-) Curiously, Shift-Ctrl-End brings up the emulator menu, apparently by returning the two key codes as normally returned by Ctrl-End, but I can't do the same for any of the Ctrl-[key] combinations inside the emulator (e.g. Shift-Ctrl-C for Ctrl-C, copy). In Ubuntu itself, the Ctrl key acts normally, i.e. it seems unaffected by the Mouse Preference Locate Pointer setting. I never found the pointer location aid much use anyway; and of course I'd rather have the Ctrl-[key] actions. Thanks for identifying the problem. Incidentally, I've given up on the CDrom - not a great loss - and opted for two hard discs instead. My next problem is networking on my RO 3.7 emulator. The instructions seem to be for RISC OS 4. -- David - david atcost ukpoets fullstop net _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
