Wow, neat! I've used my amiga extensively for four years and didn't bump into
that one... what made you think of using the screen-flip keys while holding
down the drag button? Have you tried any other really wierd stuff? (I remember
there is a 6 or 7 key combination that you press at the same time as popping a
disk out and *PRESTO*! You get a list of the designers that pops up on your
menu bar. I hope to God that someone didn't figure this out by hand :-)) Happy
bug hunting...
