Yeah, it makes sense, it just isn't working. I'm SURE it is the nut behind the keyboard causing the problems, but I'm doing what I THINK is right, and just can't get the damned thing to work. Trouble is that I'm not exactly sure what I'm EXPECTING, so when something new comes up it is a totally new experience for me. I'm learning something tho which is good. I'm downloading something now to see if it will help me. Hopefully it will (unless IT has dependencies issues lol) Ian -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
