I keep typing multiples e.g. Caroleeeee >> Hiiiiiiiii Caaaaaroleeeee, In Windows 98 you can adjust the speed at which a repeat of a character appears when holding the key as follows: Go to START Then SETTINGS Then CONFIGURATION Then click on the KEYBOARD - icon Here you can adjust the double-click speed of your mouse (above), and the repeat-speed of the characters (below). There is a test-screen to check if its better after adjusting. Then click OK Then close CONFIGscreen with ALT + F4. If it doesnt help right away, it might work only after you have rebooted your computer. << I kept trying to save it as a draft while I sent the original but apparently my computer won't do that. >> Try this: Do not "SAVE" it, but do "SAVE AS". Then it is saved into the "CONCEPTS"-box. Then if you want to send it later and NOT keep a copy in concepts, just click SEND. If you want to keep a draft in concepts AND send it too, you first copy the draft into two drafts and then send one of them. Hans.
