if I said anything about command-n it was a mistake because I don't use that for any of what I was describing. I know it's used for a new window but I didn't start out that way.

I never start by opening a new window. somebody else must have brought that into the discussion. My Youtube Channel: "www.youtube.com/loriemccloud
