V8: How to have spacebar stop at position vs start

Hi - can anyone tell me how, in preferences/etc, to set it so that when you hit spacebar to play a clip, when you hit it the 2nd time it stops where the playhead's at, vs reverting to the start of where you'd began it at? It's a simple setting, I have it set like that in V7, but can't find it in prefs in V8... thanks!

Options | Preferences | General then check [x] Make spacebar and F12 Play/Pause instead of Play/Stop

Go to Options/Preferances and slide about 2/3rds down and put a check in Make spacebar and F12 Play/Pause instead of Play/Stop.

Use the enter key to stop playback and the cursor will stay put.

Hey thanks Johnny, Ed... that did it... (sometimes I feel like such a newbie, despite hundreds of hours behind the wheel o vegas...) have a terrific weekend! much appreciated..

I remember one thing Spot covered in the V4 DVDs that was *great* was how to best set up your preferences in Vegas, not sure if that's in the latest dvds or not... it was a huge help, years ago.
