The other way is to open your options menu (shift-o), and then navigate to page 4, the info menu. Then click on the option for "Show hints window". This will disable hints window for your current session only, though. Adding shift-right click close functionality might be something I add, there are a bunch of windows that should all be able to be closed in an easy fashion..hint window, help window, ping window. Shift-right click is probably the way I will go, since I often hear complaints from people without middle mouse buttons. Bill
