It did exactly what I was looking for... plus more. But not touching the keyboard isn't too hard, and holding the mouse reasonably still, was something I expected to have to do anyway. :D -- Vänligen / Sincerly, Rolf Nielsen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
