THANKS for that, two others (anonymous and so uncontactable I guess)
say they have Autotrax working under windows 2000, and one under XP,
so it seems autotrax works under both XP and w2k, if setup right.

As soon as I get more complete instructions off someone, I'll
put it on a webpage, meanwhile I have added your comment about
Mouse:exclusive mode to my existing page.
(Pity I don't have the OS myself, I suppose, to try it)
Anyone who can instructions/testing, please email me!
