Any suggestions would be >appreciated. I suggest you use a single IDCMP port for all your windows. This way, if you get an ACTIVEWINDOW message, you can call Activate() on your input window right away. Or you could even read the input keystrokes from all windows, thereby doing away with the necessity for an input window. I did this in PickPacket, if you can find a copy take a look at the window code. Closing windows gets a little tricky. ***** =*|_o_o|\\=====Doug Walker, Software Distiller======================= *|. o.| || | o |// "I try to make everyone's day a little more surreal." ====== - Calvin usenet: ...mcnc!rti!sas!walker plink: dwalker bix: djwalker
