Victor, I played with the pause for n, and the help topic on pause claims that any keystroke will interupt the pause, but it doesn't. I got the command files to update the screen, but it locks the form and I can't input anything into the field, nor can I exit the form without using the Task Manager. What am I doing wrong?

The problem with that is the loop runs out. In a region i have used NEXTROW PREVROW to refresh a row. I would hope that the new rbase refreshes data better.
