First post and I get a soft slap. :-) Ok. Here is a question, why > do we have a place like this if we can ask easy questions? Asking questions is fine, but when the answer is EASY to find in the manual, you should expect this kind of response. It's no easier for you to read the information in an e-mail than it is to read it from the manual. The people here are usually friendly and helpful, but they also have limits to their free time, and don't like people wasting theirs with easy questions that can be answered very quickly by a brief scan through the manual. So, to answer your question: Ask the manual. Hit F1, press the '/' key, and type "beep" after the '/' shows up at the bottom of the page. If you don't see what you want, hit 'n' a few times. If you get to the end, then post a message... > Yes, you are right in that I should read the documentation, of > course, but now days with the speed required by the environment, > it's very hard to do this. That's just not true. Reading the manual costs a little time up front, but saves WADS of time down the road... This has been borne out time and time again, whether with mutt or with virtually any other peice of technology complicated enough to actually justify having its own manual... -- Derek D.
