Let's see you <do this on a Unix machine... :) Also, for the newer users, don't forget that you can quickly close the active window with Command-w. It's much faster and easier than trying to hit that little close box with the mouse pointer (especially on a big screen--which would also solve Dale Gerdemann's problem :-). Shirley Kehr
