Just curious: why do most screen blankers (at least including dmouse, pyro and one other which I forget now) watch ONLY the kbd and first mouse port? Would watching both of the mouse ports be that much harder? [yes, I keep getting bitten by it... :-(] /Bernie\ ps, as far as screen blankers go, *check*out*Pyro!* (it is on one of the recent Fish disks... something like 205...). It is *really* neat! /b\

It's nasty to search for menu with invisible pointer. pl@tut.fi ! -------------------------------- ! Pertti Lehtinen ! Alone at the edge of the world !
