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.
