hey guys-
thanks for the humorous exchange
no need to build new stuff just for me; i realize i'm one of those annoying 'meso-scale' breeds
daniel your suggestion worked and totally satisfies me enough for me now, THANKS!
for anyone listening in:
before you type daniel's command, start afni (i.e. controller A) with
afni -q -yesplugouts
then do the
plugout_drive -com 'OPEN_WINDOW B.axialimage keypress=XK_Home'
(and if you have a simpler mac keyboard the home key is Fn + Left Arrow, i believe)
cheers!
