[Chris Linder]

Guys
I seem to have a hard time with this. Im using Vertual PC to try out Linix and feel my way thru things. But when I get VP in full screen mode it wount go back to the little box mode. I was reading up on this and it says , Type ( host key+enter )

Where or what is the host key
not understanding this one


Thanks

Pretty sure you meant Virtual PC

From its help file:

Using the host key
The host key can be used for the following purposes:

Switching control of a mouse pointer that has been captured by a virtual machine. Pressing the host key returns control of the pointer to the host operating system.
By default the host key is the right ALT key. Using the Current host key option in Virtual PC Console, you can change this to any key that you prefer. The same host key is used for all virtual machines.

Sure you can - Firefox has an excellent spell checker built in. In fact, it's much better than my paid-for spell checker for Outlook Express.
