PE> It's about bloody time someone said that!

BG> Rod been giving you a hard time, has he?  :)

I may not have it set up as a macro, but I'm sure I've said that before.

PE> BTW, duplex is not in the glossary at the back of my Viper manual.

Have a quote then...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Full Duplex
   Signal flow in both directions at the same time.  In microcomputer 
   communications, may refer to the suppression of the online Local Echo.  

Half Duplex
   Signal flow in both directions, but only one way at a time.  In 
   microcomputer communications, may refer to activation of the online 
   Local Echo, which causes the modem to send a copy of the transmitted 
   data to the screen of the sending computer.
