I already have (at the button of this window), the buttons [Play], [Last window], [Next window], [Close window]. I am not skilled enough yet to know how to reach the "Last" or "Next" --if these exist. wondering if any FBSD folk can help me with this. if so, let's take it offline to avoid anybody who may not think that -questions is the right mailinglist. ithink I have exhausted all good-will among the gtk* lists and forums. right now I'm working on the built-in documentation. --this Will include a brief tutorial on vim/gvim. TIA, people... . -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Twenty-six years of service to the Unix community.
