Then I'm not sure, as I tried to do teh same thing on my MacBook Air. From what
you mentioned previously, my guess is turning off the commander will accomplish
99% of what you want in terms of accidental contact moving your cursor or
focus. I say 99% because physically clicking the pad down will do something
even if the commander is off.
If I come across the way to disable the track pad completely I'll let you know.
Cheers,
Ian
