And which I imagine almost everybody has thrown out of their system folders, because it makes a real nuisance of itself when it's not being used. It may be fine for people who use it all the time, but I'd like to use it occasionally, so I don't have to squint at the pixels when I'm doing detailed work. It's not as if an off switch would be a great deal of trouble; I'm sure it would be as easy to do than the warnings that keep reminding you that it's going to turn back on next time you boot. And I'd even settle for less than an off switch. Just let me set the magnification down to 1x. For all I can tell, this would remove all the visible effects of CloseView. And I could still zoom in on things with a few command-option-arrows (at least if I had arrows). --Tom Lippincott ..ucbvax!math!lippin "We'll just beam in, collect the photons, and beam out!" --Chekov
