Sorry, maybe I took the previous postings rather too literally. I assumed they were referring to a button function, and I simply felt that if there was a function called "PREV" which didn't actually take you to the previous location, it could be renamed more helpfully. > In "informal" chats PREV is sometimes used as a synonym for the LEFT > button (at least, on some players).

In that case my suggestion is indeed irrelevant, since "PREV" is neither the name of a button nor a function in the software. I apologise for assuming that it was. Antony. -- "The joy of X!!??
