Thanks, Jim. I have a version 5 ETKA on an old PC at home but I'm just
having no luck getting 7 to install on my Intel Mac here at my office.
I was doing fine with my home version until my Scrolling Desktop
somehow quit working. ETKA still launches but I can't scroll the
pages. Guess a reinstall is in order...
