I must confess, while reading through this entire thread I have been mystified. And thoroughly so. I am mystified by two things: Firstly, by the assumption that instant-apply dialogs will become the norm, and secondly, by the belief that they should become the norm. Apple have recommended instant-apply dialogs for MacOS X, have they not? But Apple are not Microsoft, and 10% market share is not 90% market share. So why will this make instant-apply the norm? Furthermore, Apple are not infallible. I can see plenty of potential problems with instant-apply dialogs, and not a whole lot of advantages. So why do we want them to become the norm? colin _____________________________ ____ rtnl http://rational.cjb.net c z robertson ndirect co uk icq 13294163
