I forgot to mention earlier: I'm a heavy smoker. The 'puter's in my bedroom, where I spend most of my time when I'm at home. Gunked up contacts, maybe? :-) What's strange, though, is that the keyboard seems fine under DOS/Windoze. I'll look into it, though. I was afraid someone might say it was the keyboard. :-) Oh well, what the hell. They're cheap, right? :-) Thanks. -- Conrad Sabatier http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads
