Thanks.

An email problem with my W2K system just gave me the incentive to start 
using this woody system for real work and am I glad!  I only figured how 
 to get ppp configured for my ISP a few days ago.  But that means I've 
only been using this system for a few days and am still learning.

I realize from your answers that I meant Debian menu not WindowMaker 
menu so I will read the WindowMaker doc's and put your information to use.

Thanks again,

Paul
