It does nothing! What else would you expect a Nothing cdev to do? :-) The description could have been lengthier, though. It's very easy to go on and on about Nothing, but the author chose not to. -- ========== ....... ============================================= Ken McLeod :. .: UUCP: ...{spsd,zardoz,felix}!dhw68k!thecloud ========== :::.. ..::: INTERNET: thecloud@dhw68k.cts.com //// =============================================

It's very easy to : go on and on about Nothing, but the author chose not to. Not really... Nothing, when chosen, knocks out the right-hand side of the Control Panel (where the buttons and stuff from normal CDEV's appear). Choosing another CDEV returns the Control Panel to normal. If you close the Control Panel while Nothing is active, you have to first choose Nothing and _then_ another CDEV upon re-opening the CP to get the right-side back. --Mike

The "nothing" cdev, when selectd in the control panel, shrinks the Control
Panel window so that it consists of only the list of icons on the left.
