1.) I have set up the function keys using the windows terminal 
program to do fancy things with the UN*X system I log on to
but only run at 1200 baud when I log in. Clicking on the
appropriate key pastes in so quickly it fouls up.
Q: How do I slow it down so it works?

2.) The cut'n'paste facility is really nice, but using a non-
windows app, (esp a DOS shell) , if I select an item, then try
and paste it I *always* get a carriage return whether I want
on or not. 
Q: Is it possible to disable this feature?

3.) I posted a Q re toolbook being sloooow some time ago. It
is my Prodesigner II 256 colour drivers which for some reason
cause a computational overhead. When I run in 16 colour mode
it is OK. I am using the 3.1 drivers and expecting the 3.2
drivers in the post
Q: Has anyone any experience of the 3.2 drivers, are they
any better; if not how can I usefully work in 256 colour mode?

4.) I downloaded some of the backgrounds mentioned in this list
from cica. They're very pretty.
Q: How can I get them not to be *grey* (!) in 16 colour mode.
(I tried starting pbrush and saving them in 16 colour mode to
no effect). Sorry if this is a dumb (can't do it ) question.

5.) Can I receive this list by email, since I don't have news
access except by paying a phone bill. I can be mailed or can
ftp stuff. Please advise.

Thanks for all your time.
