A couple of postings have mentioned programs that responded slowly to the mouse's left button. My version of Degas is notorious. When I am trying to quit, it ask's are you sure and has a little OK box. I'll click and click on that box before it responds. Then, when it does responds and puts up the regular menu, I may still be clicking furiously away and click on some other command by mistake. Well, I remembered reading something about keyboard sequences that correspond to mouse functions in the manual that came with my computer. ALT INSERT correspond to clicking that button. With some experimentation I found that, after positioning over the OK box, if I hold those keys down for a second, when I let up, the program responds. I just thought I'd pass this on for anybody who has any program with this little glitch in it. Regards, Carl Weidling -- Cleave yourself to logodaedaly and you cleave yourself from clarity.
