Yea, this is the way the seperate minibuffer should work. Can you send out what it takes to do this? The standard mini-buffer auto-raise feature isn't the right thing because I usually move the mouse to an Epoch window instead of the minibuffer window. |> Some people have said that this is an unimportant issue. I disagree |> ... a separate minibuffer is much more important than a menu bar!!! Well... that was me! I think a menu bar is important for the people who don't use Epoch all the time. We have a number of Electrical and Mechanical engineers that use it from time to time. They forget things like how to reflow a paragraph or move the right margin. -------------------------------------- Gerd Hoeren Integrated Measurement Systems, Inc.
