- Yet annother suggestion is to get a 'new' wmgr from osu in THE STORE!
- (/pub/att7300/STORE/WMGR+IN) this replacement has a few bugs fixed from the
- stock (like the window stuck open I posted las week) and allows for paging
- through the windows by just hitting the resume key. (you can still use susbpen
- to get the wmgr menu). I find this VERY convienient. Also, ITS INSTALLABLE!!
-
- Tom, you might find this helpful too (it does save a few keystrokes and a
- little time).
