As I keep repeating, x is TOTALLY not available to the common user. I need to set that up as an auto reply I guess. All the good editors, and I'm fond of geany, but neither geany, kate nor kwrite are available, they need x and bailout when they're are denied its use, so I'm stuck with nano, and its half a screen vertical jump for a scroll drives me plumb out of my skull, spending 95% of my time looking for the damned curser. No way in hell you can write good code with that distraction. I'm running out of patience, everyone is reading what they *think* I wrote, then answering that question I didn't ask. That is not helpfull and just confuses the next person that replies to what ought to be a new thread, its that far from the actual subject. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
