	it was `when'; i need a ~/.dotfile template that i can edit and
	i'll be able to try.   last time, years back, i found [or was send]
	a template and edited to my own use.

	the nice thing about this program is that it pops up a small
	rectangle and you have to click on the rectangle to clear your
	screen. 

	thanks to everybody who responded!

	gary
