Let's try that again. dbaccess is not a mouse driven application. You can
highlight the words on the screen all day long, but that action does not
communicate with the application. Use the arrow keys to highlight databases
and the return key to select them. Or type in the database you want to
select on the line where it allows you to.

Use the mouse ONLY to navigate to a different window, to select text for
cutting and pasting.

Hi Jack,

I'm not using the mouse to highlight words. I'm only using the
keyboard here.

BTW - one reader emailed me re: TERMCAP. TERMCAP is set correctly to /
opt/informix/etc/termcap. The termcap file is 1553 lines long, and I
assume it's correct.

Thanks

Andrew
