It's generally faster to scroll text, which is the thing that made me switch over from xterm; it's also sometimes quite useful to be able to reconfigure it on the fly with Ctrl-right-click. While the NetHack keypad mode is nifty, I must admit that I've never actually used it in NetHack, since I've got used to the hjklyubn keys. :-) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
