A vertical bar in a blue frame. The bar is red at the top, white in the middle and green at the bottom.
At the bottom of the frame are `L' on the left-hand side and `R' on the right-hand side. Underneath those letters are firstly the word CAPTURE and underneath that the characters `100<>100'. Finally, on the bottom line are the characters `<Capture>'. The up-down arrow keys can change the `100<>100' to lower numbers. The left-right arrow keys do nothing. -- Dr S Mountbatten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
