You are forgetting the left-Amiga-V and left-Amiga-B keyboard equivelents for Retry and Cancel. If the requestor window was not automatically activated, you would have to click in the window, and then press left-Amiga-{B,V}. Kind of eliminates the advantage of the keyboard equivelents. -- ------------ Eric Kennedy ejkst@cisunx.UUCP
