Sir, [SNIP] And one last thing, I know this might sound ignorant on my part but... could you tell how to run multiple programs in one log-in prompt? I didn't acctualy understand how virtual consoles works so every time I'm playing mp3 on mpg123, I will have to press the F keys to login to another prompt just to be able to run another program. Mark, You can send a program into the background by trailing the command with &&. So, if you want to run amp (an mp3 player), you could simply type: # amp song.mp3 && An easier solution is to login to a second virtual terminal by hitting Alt-F2 (all the way up to F7). Then just switch back by pressing Alt-F1, or whichever terminal you were on before. HTH Eric F Crist __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
