    That's difference between Unix and Windows. In Unix usage the assumption is that the user knows what they are doing; in Windows usage the assumption is that the user doesn't.

    Dunno that it worked., It was supposed to tell us in which sleep mode it was configured. It didn't.

    I'll ask Elisabeth.

    I'm not used to Macs. I grew up with TRSDOS, then NewDOS, PCDOS. 1 and 2, MSDOS 2 through MSDOS 6 (or was it 7), Windows all iterations to the present.

    I'm now a Luddite - you wouldn't know I used to manage two computer data centres.

    I can't even use the Nokia N70 phone I've got. My Windows-based touch screen PDA phone is much easier to use.

    Ron, about your command, it didn't tell you what the configuration was because you didn't tell it to.

    Ron.. Please! UNIX is a real operating system for the computers of today. Modern computers have really grown into UNIX with it's better handling of multiple processors and multi-tasking.

    Windows has far too much baggage from MSDOS which is meant for computers from 1985.

    That did nothing - much like the grep command earlier.

    How'd you hold your tongue. I find it's best on the right lower side of the mouth

    Check the defined hotkey for it. It's sounding like someone has done some serious tinkering with that computer and changed a lot of defaults!

    See the picture... it's on the bottom of the window accessed in the spotlight icon in system preferences.

    Also, in the top bar at the far right is a magnifying glass. That does the same thing.

    I assume "space" measns the space bar.

    I pressed the magnifying glass and it opened up a little blue window thing called spotlight but it was empty - it expects and entry to be typed in.
