Maybe I was a bit unclear here; I'm "always" doing other stuff while the/any download proceeds in the background. I'd still like to be notified(sp) about it having finished, in a sane manner - so I can go on typing (or whatever)... NOTE THE PROBLEM: Do not pop up an ACTIVE dialog; I would be typing on the keyboard, thus possibly ruining it all. > Elfyn > [EMAIL PROTECTED] /Hannu E K Nevalainen, Mariefred, Sweden -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
