First did you mean BUTTON_SLEEP? BT_SLEEP (according to QPAC2 manual) can only be used with QPAC2 type Executable Things, to start off a required program in a sleeping state. the BUTTON_SLEEP program puts any reasonably behaved job to sleep, by locking the job's windows, removing them from the display and then creating a button for the display. When the button is woken, the windows are restored and unlocked. No idea about the state of documentation for this though. -- Dilwyn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.soft.net.uk/dj/index.html
