F3 finds the next instance. it first only looks at links but if you type a '/' (slash) before the word it searches the whole text. it really just saves you bringing up that cumbersome Find dialogue box. i don't think it really works for cycling through links. the tab key works better for that. iris ===== ******************************* omnia mea mecum porto <http://www.jarmin.com/> <http://www.demos.ac.uk/> ******************************* __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
