Anyway, I'll study your code and give it > a try. Use a printer I'd say if you are to read long documents. And make the font BIG! Reading on a monitor, even projector, isn't pleasant to my mind (and body). Right now, one would think I'm reading but actually I'm just typing 80% and perhaps "seeing" 15%. The last five will remain a mystery... Having the text auto-scroll is probably even worse, because you don't type (no mini-vibration or information from your fingers to relieve your eyes) and with auto-scroll, your focus point is even more fixed. Besides, don't you get stressed from having to read at a certain pace? And/or ditto frustrated when reading "too fast" and it won't keep up? Stress can cause eye-problems (almost) as much as shampoo... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
