You don't need to clear the whole string. You can position your cursor using the arrow keys (cursor back and cursor forward only, since cursor up/down will take you to the next/previous field - or the other way around). The arrow keys are nondestructive and allow you to change the drive spec without killing the whole line. It's not very elegant (as a matter of fact I hate it) but it's possible. -- Federico Heinz "In Dubio Pro Libido" BIX: fheinz | Beusselstr. 21 UUCP: ...!unido!tub!actisb!federico | 1000 Berlin 21 Tel: (030) 396 77 92 | F.R.
