Bruce, I have run into that tissue on and off and have not really taken a long look to figure out how it works; I usually get it to work by trial and error. This PAUSE command works:
PAUSE 2 USING 'Blah Blah ' + CAPTION 'Who writes captions this long??' As long as the message is the same length or longer than the caption it seems to work correctly. Also, the width parameter is the wraparound width and in Windows, I believe it is in pixels rather that characters, so 50 might not be enough.

The same message with the width parameter: PAUSE 2 USING 'Blah Blah' =50 + CAPTION 'Who writes captions this long??' .produces the same result, if for no other reason than that there's nothing to wrap. No difference if the message and caption are fed through variables. Thoughts? Bruce Chitiea SafeSectors, Inc. eCondoMetrics
