I'll copy a reply I sent to Scott Ferguson off list: Thanks for the reply. It turned out to be a sticky key option in the accessibility application. I was playing with it several weeks ago and despite closing it and deleting it from the menu the round blue icon remains on the top panel. Somehow the sticky key option gets checked. Don't know what's doing it. I would appreciate any ideas on how to get rid of it. -- Bob Holtzman If you think you're getting free lunch, check the price of the beer. Key ID: 8D549279
