Supposed to be *left click* on the icon to the extreme left in the title bar.

What's your key assignment for ctrl-j. I'll try it.

This is my simpleton routine but it works. 1. REM out
C:\PROGRA~1\Tame\tame-nt.com in Autoexec.nt. 2. Create a .pif for
editor.exe. Write a .bat -- XY.bat. [C:\PROGRA~1\Tame\tame-nt.com
[CR] C:\XY\EDITOR.EXE /e4000. 3. .Pif-->propreties->program tab. In
_cmd line:_ write [D]:\Xy\Xy.bat. So TAME starts now only when you
invoke the .pif. Also, try those drop-down dialog/box menus in the
console, now. You may experience different behavior. (Left click
left-most icon in title bar.)

Time for you to drop david@xxxxxxxx a note describing the
behavior of that key and asking if he has a discreet fix for the
moment. Meanwhile, let's see what happens when I test your key
assignment on my XY\TAME setup.
