	Just have a question here. Why the mousetrap program? The program 
does allow the lockout of the menu bar, which may be the reason for the
not so clean break upon exit. Nite I can understand, to blank the screen 
but another screen saver utl may solve the other problem your experiencing.

	I must admit that I use WP from a cold boot, seeing that if i'm going 
to be using it, I will be for some time,and when I exit the next program I 
will most likly be using will be my terminal disk, though I do use the 
terminal as a normal boot disk as it has my favorite .ACC's and ramdisk size.

	Key click problem, well I can't say that I have encountered that 
either, but then I don't have the volume up, as it slows my typing down ;^}.
Unless your talking about something different than I am interpreting.

	In this I agree totally. WP has become my defacto standard W/P no
matter what or how big whatever I am going to write is. I love it.....
