Joe-

I have never used an NT system... I have the Mac Xpress, but in the trim mode,
where you "lasso" or drag a box around a cut in the timeline, you can trim from
the composer trim window, or right at the cut in the timeline itself, just as you
described! Try moving your cursor over the selected cut in the timeline while in
the trim mode... if it changes to a "trim" icon, then you can click and drag the
edit point out or in as you like.

I have the IBM 18 gig mechanism, in addition to my 2-is9 Avid drives, and they
work fine. I do AVR 77 on either AvidStripe group without problem. The IBM is the
same mechanisn Avid uses in the is9's, FYI. I just purchased two 18 gig drives
for about  800-each, and put all 4 drives in a 4-bay, 2-channel enclosure.
