Hi Ben, No _without_ the pause it crashes or hangs.
It _seems_ as if my system needs a moment or two to think about what it's going to do. It _seems_ as if rushing straight into the form causes the problem. There is an eep on the form but it only runs when a button is clicked. Thinking aloud and without any forethought for a moment: Does it? Maybe R:Base "mentally" runs/scans the eep on entry rather like it knows there's no endwhile in a loop if it's missing. This is the only eep that I have which is codelocked. It seems to have to be codelocked because I need to use the "run [command] in [eep]" syntax on the buttons. Is this a possibility? Anybody got any thoughts on what might cause a codelocked eep to hiccup rather than a plain ascii one? I thinks that it's very simple but I'll check it now anyhow.
