Marcus, I am a little shagrin. I guess I had my left hand over the keyboard
wrong and was not looking at the monitor when I type, which is  the way in
general I type.
Anyway's thank you for the explanation.

I find that if I run fritz for a very long time looking at one of my
coorespondence games my computer at times locks up. I know the fritz programs
have a reputation of bein memory hogs, but is this related ?

Thx
Wayne
