I am having this stupid little problem that is driving me nuts. Most of my typing these days is in Mail and I keep double-spacing the space bar. So much so that I use Find to replace the doubles with single spaces. I have played with sys. prefs. but the keyboard pref. doesn't seem to effect the spacebar action. Is there something I am missing here? I am on a G4 MP500 with standard clear/silver Apple keyboard. I bought a gel pad to stick in front of the keyboard, thinking that would help but no luck. I am running Panther 3.3 now. I don't recall this problem being so bad under 9.2.2 and Eudora. Note that I am leaving the double spaces in this post. Any suggestions besides finding an old Royal manual? </whine> Carter
