Hi Michael Thanks for replying, no need to apologize. I'd already applied the Sourceforge patch. That solves the problem of toggling the Fade Autos button. It's easy to apply, you can just edit it into the file manually. Now, white bordered rectangles appear/disappear with the 'D' button, but still no thumbnails, in my case. I've looked around quite a bit, just found one reference to that particular problem, and no solution yet. Thanks again. John >This is a problem with 2000c, it does not exist in 2000b.
