Could you have had "sticky keys" set? I forget where, but there's an option somewhere in OS/2 that makes "action" keys like ctrl and alt and shift act like they're pressed down and kept down to make life easier for disabled typists who couldn't hold down the action key simultaneously with another key. Check Keyboard under System Settings. *adh* --- Msged/2 6.0.1 * Origin: tncbbs.no-ip.com - Try the CROSSFIRE echo - all welcome (1:261/1000) .
