I remember talk about this on the mail list from long ago. The result was to leave things "as-is", since there was some concern that a change would cause other problems. If you're interested, check the mail archives and ferret around in the code a bit to see what you can come up with. I find it a small annoyance myself but, as you can see, I haven't let it slow me down over the years!;-) Larry Hall lhall AT rfk DOT com RFK Partners, Inc. http://www.rfk.com 118 Washington Street (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office Holliston, MA 01746 (508) 893-9889 - FAX -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
