Is it possible to have something like a screen saver. On some duration of inactivity, bring up a buffer with all the required information. When there is mouse/keyboard activity, restore the previous active buffer. In this way, we make the information visible in a rather non intrusive manner. -dky -- Dhruva Krishnamurthy Contents reflect my personal views only!
