The problem is more one of clashes between a foreground application and >hot keys (e.g. DeskEdit traps just about every normal keycode). You really need WHY? You can only have a filer-selection in a single window anyway, so where is the problem with simply placing the input focus in the filer-window when the selection is made, just as you would if, for example, you selected a piece of text in !Edit or an object in !Draw... Why should a filer window be any different? -- _________________ "I'd like to answer this question in two ways: /____ _ _/_ __ First in my normal voice, and then // / //_//_ /_/ in a silly, high-pitched whine."
