But I really would like that scroll >fix for my IIcx. Anyone know what I'm talking about? It does exist in System 6.0.5. I personally don't find the delay long enough, but it is definitely there. It really helps when you scroll through those cdevs. By the way, if anyone's interested, I've looked through the code and the scroll delay is fixed. I'm suprised they didn't at least use a resource or perhaps parameter RAM to save delay settings. I have been using ScrollLimit and got spoiled to being able to set my own scroll delay and rate. I suppose I could put ScrollLimit back in - haven't tried it yet! Andy
