Thanks! I looked on a few of the links and didn't see a list of the  
contents and looking inside the iso images for them didn't help  
either. I'll check out zile tomorrow to see if good enough. As long  
as it supports the same ctrl-key shortcuts and does the auto  
indenting, I'll be happy. I suspect must of my students have a DVD  
drive, but there may be some that don't.
