Thanks ejm,

Nice script you posted. And the detailed instructions really helped me
- being a non-programmer - a lot!

Anything works now except for 1 major problem I'm having. I have
really no idea how to attach a monospaced (non-proportional) font to
the ascii I put inside the scroll box. You can imagine the way
"Helvetica" tortures my brainchild ;)

(Don't know why it's Helvetica but it is.)

*******************

Should I do this:
(1) In html with my editor (Arachnophilia - a text editor)

I've tagged the whole script with <font face="courier"></font> and
tried <TEXTAREA FACE="Fixedsys" NAME=t ROWS=7 COLS=70></TEXTAREA> but
this didn't work.

(2) In the javascript (don't no where - looks like chinese to me)

(3) In my browser (MSiE 3.02)
Checked some menu's - none of them seems to fit.

(4) In the java plug-in the browser uses ???

TIA,



mic
