IMO disabling back button is a bad idea. But what about programs that have their own loops, like the previous language chooser? I think *I* would be confused if I could get the same question in two (or three?) different ways with different values depending on what button I used. I also want to implement multiple-floppies support in floppy-retriever, and being able to back up in this context would be very confusing .oO(how many times did I back up, what floppy am I on now?) I once pondered turning anna's module selection into a state machine, where you'd have "add modules", "list to-be-installed modules" "done" options. The cancel button would be very confusing. At least to me. /M -- Martin Sjögren martin@strakt.com ICQ : 41245059 Phone: +46 (0)31 7710870 Cell: +46 (0)739 169191 GPG key: http://www.strakt.com/~martin/gpg.html
