Well, *something* like that, anyway. :-)

Thanks for these ideas. I actually had to turn "Browser
Integration" off in Acrobat, but now it is back to acting
more like what I had in mind. Thank you *very* much for this
answer to a w-a-a-y off-topic question. I knew I could count
on you guys. :-)

I think I mentioned that I am re-reading Robert Pirsig's
The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It is amazing to read
a book again 25 years later and see how profoundly your
ideas about life were affected by a book you can't even
remember. I felt the same way reading Walden again not
too long ago.

Anyway, last night I was reading about the various ways
you can get "stuck" in a problem. One of the classic
ways is asking questions that can't be answered from
your current perspective of what the problem is. You
get a "mu" answer. One that is neither yes or no. The
hoped for response to such a question is to retreat a
bit from the problem and see if you can't put it in a
larger perspective.

In this case, I think I was *WAY* to eager to blame
Mr. Gates and it never occurred to me that the folks who
built Photoshop could possibly share some of the blame.

In that sense, at least, this seems like a proper IDL
question for this group. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Of course I knew you knew, Struan. That's why
you have your badge. :-)
