Hi,
Ok, here is what I plan to do!!
Having taken the advice of Dominik and Thomas A
Gardiner, et al, I shall first of all try and setup
xconsole. I have also gone and downloaded contool, and
I shall try that one out, and then tomorrow morning, I
shall let the list know which one I prefer :~))
Thanks to everyone who has advised me upon this...
