To put it bluntly, RODENT.SYS sucks when used with a TrackPoint. Even with the "response" switch maxed out at 8, the tracking speed does not change until the pointer is about halfway across the screen. Once there, it takes off so fast that you can't even see it. As a result, I kept overshooting everything because there's no transition between slow and fast. It's like riding in a car with my Mom: there are only two accelerator pedal positions - on and off. For me, at least, this thing is not the answer. I have contacted someone at IBM about alternative mouse drivers, and I'm hoping to hear from them soon. If led to the Holy Grail, I'll be sure to post to the mailing list with specifics... -key _________________________________________________________________ Karl E.
