When I get to the Open Firmware window, with it's flashing cursor, and type in "reset-nvram" what then? Do I type a space or a comma to separate the three commands? I hate to hit a return key because that executes a command, usually. How to do these? Do I type the first, and hit return, and wait for it to execute the command, and will it then return for more instructions? What? Also, holding the C key down starts up from a CD. What CD? I will not have put a CD in the tray unless needed for some purpose. Please advise... keith whaley
