Well, why should Windows save 2 Megabyte of screen memory for a simple editor if the few bytes of the text plus a few bytes of a routine that draws the text on screen can do just fine, too? Anyway, it's not unproductive code. You just write your code in a way that it can not only draw your stuff once (i.e. the initial drawing) but every time this is needed. Marcel
