Thanks for the pointers to those tools Gerhard. I think if there isn't a way to do it in MPLAB 7.30 I might just leave it alone. Put up with it for 10 years...... Don't see why the list of actions in the menu is so long, yet the only ones with hot keys are within MPLAB. Perhaps it's to accomodate the tools you mentioned -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
