I could if someone wants to work on this, but is it worth doing? If we have no need to support pausing the display any more, it wouldn't be worth spending time to implement this now. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
