Yes, I figured it out and confirmed it with SETW. A very nice program if you have no other way of generating the Window definitions. I haven't played much with it yet, I will do ASAP, but it looks promising. I realised I had an old copy of Easy Pointer 3 on my 'hard disc' and it comes with Easy Source which converts a menu definition from EP3 to an ASM file. For some reason it wouldn't work, just hung in execution and was still listed in the 'jobs' list but nothing on screen. Most strange. Then on one occasion, it did work but while I was out of high colour mode. A clue perhaps. It was. The code checks for mode 0, and if not found, simply loops around calling MT_DMODE to read the mode again and again until it is in mode 0 and then displays the menu on screen. Most useful. I'll be posting a patch for EasySource in a separate email. Cheers, Norman. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
