I don't know, but since it takes about 10 seconds to change Modem
setting in KPPP (I don't bother with Minicom) it's not an issue for me.

Haven't tried two mice at the same time. I will when I get a new (really
a used "refurbished") T-20 from work with an external touchpad. As far
as the monitor, I regularly use an external monitor - projector - to
give slide shows. Every laptop I have ever owned had a function key that
toggled between "laptop scree only" "external monitor only" and "both."
On the HP I am using right now it's F5. On my current brokedown Thinkpad
it's F7.

Huh? You're describing a "replace" function. "Paste" does inserts. You
highlight text (or whatever), you go to the location (perhaps in another
window or another program) where you want to put it, you click your #3
mouse button (or if two buttons, both at the same time) and your
highlighted info drops into the new place.

I am a writer, not a computer geek. If I see a command line once a month
that's too often. Let's just say my tests are lousy and I don't know
what I'm doing, and leave it at that. Now I have a story to write. :)
