Craig,

I know about altering the .steprc, and have done so on several occassions to
add new pop out menus to my icon bar.  I know that I can do the same for the
title bar, but I'm not quite sure how to add it in.  I have looked at several
.steprc's that I copied off the web, but I'm not sure exactly where they are
making the change.  I would appreciate any help you could give me.  I really
like working with AfterStep, but have to use the third mouse button gets old to
me, and I would like to have that icon on the title bar.

Thanks for the quick response, and as I said, I would appreciate the help.

Blaine
