Greetings! Is there some way to actually "tell" desk accessories that are currectly opened within an application to close? I am writing a program that uses Pexec() to call other programs, but the problem I am running into is that any DA's that occupy windows and are left open when my program executes another do not receive the AC_CLOSE message and so do not know they should be closed. Of course, I cannot simply close their windows for them; that only messes them up. Pterm() somehow does this for itself since it automagically sends the correct message when the application terminates. shel_write() also seems to suffer from this same problem. Is there any good solution, short of hacking-into the OS? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "In those days, men were real men, Dan Wilga women were real women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri Gribnif@UMASS.Bitnet were REAL small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri" -- Hitchhikers
