Bob, Not sure about the form... If you are using RBWin65 then could you use a PAUSE 3 and then a PAUSE 4 to write over the existing PAUSE 3... Razzak had nifty little routine for something like this. I'm not sure how well it works for constant updates like you are talking about though, haven't put that much processing on this kind of user feedback..
