Works like I like it. :) Thank you! But, you probably remember, in an other mail I complained that in contrast to REXX at ooREXX/ooDialog the execution "jumps around". This is the wrong term. It seems that some settings are postponed/deferred/stacked and come into force at a later moment than the setting takes place. But, admittedly, moving dialog windows without flickering is not trivial if you are not familiar with the OS. > What do you mean by set the mouse pointer to move to the OK button?

Yes, the later. > If it is the operating system setting, then that will be difficult, but not > impossible to fix. Let me know which it is. It is fixed with the Visible=False of the dialog in ResEdit. I suspect, its just because the dialog window is now only shown once. Thank you once more!
