I didn't load your *ini file, but I did just built a bar using CL 
commands and built a bar using a ini file and this behavior other 
than running when hidden did not happen.

My *info expr was simply: *info expr([EMAIL PROTECTED])

When I Bar.close() or CL.RemoveAll() My_Bar, the *info stopped 
processing debug output. Hidden bars have always run *info in the 
background.

*Info for buttons are resource hogs. As a workaround, I use an Event 
with CL.SetLabel(), etc; and only run the event when the bar is 
visible.

*Info works great for menus.

Hope this helps,

Ted
