Thanks for the many replies I had to my question about listplot in color. I have a second question. I upgraded from 2.2 to 3.0 last december and am very happy with it except for three things. 1.) I have a PowerMac, and every document I open in the help window gets an alias in the recent documents folder, rendering this folder almost useless. Is there any way around this? 2.) When I layed out my programs in 2.2, I made liberal use of the tab key, which was approximately 5 spaces. In 3.0, it seems to be approximately one space (pointless.) Is there any preference I can switch off to get my old tab back? 3.) I am similarly frustrated with the "smart" mouse selection. I don't like having the computer decide how much to highlight. (Sometimes I only want to delete part of a function name, etc.) Is there a way to get the standard click and drag highliter back? An option key maybe? (This may be a Macintosh OS question, but since I use my mac for nothing but Mathematica, this newsgroup gets the dump.) Thanks for any response, -Adam
