Some of shells might be built for win95. Adapting Win95 to be more Unixy might be more work than it's worth to find someone's unix box to play with. X is not unlike Win95 with windows and such. With the proper window manager (fvwm) you can get your minimize/maximize and control menu back. The other thing is: put your pointer in the window you want to type in :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
