Are you sure that this does not have side effects? What would people who do not know what a selection on unix is think? The more I think about this stuff the more I am sure that the current solution is OK for most users, and if some UNIX guys want nonstandard behaviour they should need to configure that explicitly. We should not try to emulate UNIX on windows, but follow the UI guidelines of the OS, period. Those who want UNIX should either use a real UNIX, or cygwin, or they should adapt to windows if there is no alternative. Georg
