Hmmm, didn't know that. I did notice it was possible as the layers took into account all the information needed already (x,y,h,w). Admittedly I didn't attempt to patch it because the layers stuff seems to span 3-4 files, so it was hard to follow. Maybe I will do something with it - or at least try. Would you, by chance, be willing to accept patches to get rid of the K&R style? Call me OCD, but if I was going to work on screen at all I would *have* to clean it up a bit - and I just might be crazy enough to do it 8) _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
