MB> You're saying this is normal, for the letters to be erased after being MB> typed? The erasing takes place right to left. The erasing of the letters is because there was no matching string. The reason for disappearing from right to left is because it will erase until there is a match. If you type a letter that doesn't exist at all it will stare at you with a blank box. -- Take Care, Paul The Bat! v.3.60.03 Forerunner (Beta) on Win2k SP4-Rollup1 5.0.2195 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.60.03 forerunner | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
