At last! I can post to Usenet without having to ask other people to do it for me! I am having major hassles trying to do something very simple. In of one of my programs, I have a menu option that pulls the back window to the front of the screen. This works fine. I am also following the Acorn convention that an Adjust menu selection should keep the menu up on screen. This also works fine. The problem comes when I adjust select the cycle option to pull the back window forward. The window manager reopens my menu as it was, but puts the window in front of it. It seems to do this no matter which order I create the menu and move the window in. Am I missing something very obvious here? Please can someone help? Thanks, Robin
