WOW! thanks! it worked! i wouldnt have written this kind of code (i'm too
new into this). i didnt even know till now that some of those commands u
used existed. i made some slight modifications, and i'll be doing a little
tinkering with it too, since i want to output a small window to inform the
user that his new window is about to be killed. if i get that done,
i'll paste it here. again, thanks so much :)
