It's antiquated and still tells one to put the definitions in step.rc, which for ots2 is simply a place holder and pointer for other files. Thanks go to Duece, for the suggestion to put the SDA values into the personal.rc file.

Yes, I quite understand the use of SDA.

However, it does not solve my problem neither does it offer a solution to my problem, regardless of the variables or combinations therein of positive and negative values. I guess the only way I can describe my problem is through the use of multiple screen shots...becuase it seems that people in general are misunderstanding what I am trying to say; or more easily put, I'm not saying it right :) Although this problem was twofold, and one of them has been solved via the use a setting the SDA values or jdeskworkarea.

This is what is happening ( even with SDA = -4 ) ---> http://www.bertelsen.ca/media/litescreeny.jpg
