Hi, As one of (I suspect) a dieing breed of intensive sam users I like send appending \n. I believe it's a matter of outlook. If you regard sam's command window as a typescript then you tend to assemble a command at the output/input point which requires many laborious cut and pastes. I can imagine not having to move the mouse before doing the paste would then seem very attrictive. If however, the history in the sam window is just text then one is quite within ones rights to 'change history', edit it, double click to the right of it (to select it) and hit send. I do this dozens of times a day. just my 2ยข worth ;-) -Steve PS. thanks Rob for releasing it alll those years ago, it has been a pool of sanity in an ever changing OS enviroment.
