Gotcha. That makes sense, when compiling for the fb...but I'm compiling
for X. I can certainly do the same basic thing, but it kinda breaks the
concept of installing a X prg and allowing many users to run it
separately, doesn't it? Please note, I'm not complaining...it works, and
I'm happy. Just asking the question!
Thanks for all you help!
