And as you'll find out, double-floats falls over in its morning bowl of oats at anything greater than 69!, where the ! is the factorial of N. 126 would be well beyond the number of seconds since the big bang. 70 overflows our 16 or 17 digit, displays 12+exponent 100 dollar and up calculators. But I am amazed that kcalc, the old version with bitfield display, can actually give what looks like a sensible answer as it CAN display an exponent as a 3 digit number. The x! of 126 is 2.37217324288e+211, and that folks is one BIG number. :) I'd say that J. Drahun could waste a morning trying the various keyboards that ARE im that mutiselector choice I mentioned in the last post, until he finds one that matches the keyboard he has closely enough that this stuff works. Or I assume he can mouse thru the menu's to find ksnapshot, and that should work but its a lot slower than the hot keys because you have to hunt for it. I've been, up to this thread, hunting thru the manu's when I needed a screen or window snapshot, so I've learned a much quicker way. If he should be so lucky that his keyboard is actually IN that list, he has won the lottery. There is, but I forget the name of it, an x utility that can show the exact byte stream coming from the keyboard. Whether that would be helpfull, IDK, but its there even if it has to be installed.
