I know I'm guilty for not having created a new GameList window, but it is not because i'm satisfied with the current interface. I have not played serious chess for over a year, so I'm not using Scid, so I stopped to develop the code. I'm sorry you think I'm selfish, I just wanted to point out to new users how to do things with Scid (free) which, although it certainly is not perfect, has features that ChessBase has not. Bye, Fulvio
