I had a look at wmi's Webseite last night. And that other one that you program with "lua" (whatever that is). And fluxbox.

I think I'll stick to ratpoinson, though, for when I need X. > Fabian Braennstroem -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) Email: aacm@muuc.dee; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter (like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
