Thanks I'll give it a try.

Perhaps I'll visit the wish list on the blender site and ask for a disable target option. I have been resisting flipping the mouse button functionality as I have read in manuals, but I have learned on Max and Maya and left click (god damn it) is select.

Sorry about the profanity, It was all in jest. Funny, you can;t really convey sarcasm or whit via text, it just comes out wrong...
