I'll try that 1st suggestion of yours. I'll have to read up on "raw". And before I bother Mr. Richter with questions I'll shall: investigate the settings and do a bit of internet searching.

Currently, I was pursuing ALL of those other suggestions, but until I tried various permutations I won't come begging here

I didn't understand about needing rdesktop on the Linux side... another puzzle piece in hand.

Thanks for your continued patience,
George

===================================================
The laptop is portable to the many drs. appts I accompany my wife to. I get 1 to 2 hours in, depending, so the project will stay on the iBook (there are 120vac outlets at all the places we go).

It is (mostly) important to me that I be able to say that company files are NOT on my personal computer at home.

I don't so much hate the iBook keyboard as I do /**changing**/ keyboards. It (and age) are ruining my typing accuracy and speed. The X1000 keyboard has the same physical configuration as my keyboard at work and about the same keyspacing.

@ggw You can install Rdesktop on linux too, that's what i have done to my rpi2, it works great for what i'm using it for. It's handy because when the amiga crash i just reboot and click on my icon for rdesktop and i'm back just where i were when i crashed. This method is surely not suitable for everyone but it is for me.

You are the ***winner***. It works!

Specifically, I found Epsilon's (almost) perfect description of how to do it.

Please supply some info about a place you would like to see some money donated to.
I'll give some to it.

Thank you, thank you,
George Wyche
