Well, I guess because I'm not really sure what I want to do.  I have a
couple of idea's floating around in the back of my head, but thats all they
are, just ideas.  I want to get a touch screen and write a some stuff
utilizing that.

I've tried the kiosk HOWTO, and I had difficulties.   I didn't like the
overlay masks that a person had to do.  I couldn't get them to come up over
the browser and stay there.  The browser would always cover them up, not the
other way around.  I guess what I really wanted was a browser that did kiosk
in a native mode like IE.  On my 98 machine, I can bring IE up with a
iexplorer -k.  I guess that was what I was looking for in my original post.
A browser that would give me the same functionality, without all of the
hassle.

>I have one multiple key sequence set up as a back-door.

How did you do that?

I just briefly looked at that.  I'll have to look a little closer to see if
that will help me with what I want.

Thanks a lot for the help.
