Thank you bill, I was unaware of 'bind'. One advantage of having so many eyes on my code is the depth of experience everyone brings.
The method I used to set the drawing box was to set the global code using 9!:7 according to the radio button pressed, display with those characters and then reset to the viewer's original setting so that the global code is only different during the use of update and does not leave the viewers session in a different format. By using 9!:6 to check the status in both display_run and display_resume, the form will initialize correctly to the user's current choices. I would welcome any advice you have on better ways to do this. My choice works, but is not elegant (although I did enjoy using &. for the set/reset with update).
