Thanks for the help.

I'm using the 19.34 version of emacs.
emacs.exe      1,705,984 bytes     12-14-97     6:04p

The Ctrl-Break doesn't work, not even the twice rapidly method...

Here is the enviroment info. you asked for.

Hope this helps.
I can't see any major difference between the setup here at home and that at
work...
I just got home from work.  I'm going to mess around with it after taking
Floyd (our dog)
for a walk...

thanks again,
