I tried that Chris. I read the previous Post under " input panel not
responding".

Thing is the test entry is working fine for everything else but MS Works
workspace where the test entry window will work but not come undocked.

I talked to Toshiba and Microsoft about this and nobody can tell me that
it should work. I am hoping that it will. Programs like Notepad and
WordPad work fine so I imagine that Works should work too. You will make
me a very man if we can make this work. I am disabled and very much need
this
functionality.

Thanks,
Ernie
