Suggestion: read my original message above.  :=)  She is evidentally
one of those special people that can type without thinking.  My mom
was one of those.  Mom could do 100 wpm on an Underwood Upright;
while talking about dinner tonight at the same time!  Unless your
dept secetary is doing graphics I suggest she go back to 5.1 DOS and
DO NOT USE Screen Extender.  And for Pete's sake don't insist she
use a Mouse for ANYTHING!!!

I don't read Writin', I can only read Readin'.  :=)
