Hi David, Actually when I read Bill's reply, I realised I had misread your question. At the risk of getting Rob Cozens on me for interface guideline tiranny ;-) -- though setting the screenMouseLoc is possible, most users find it quite confusing that the cursor is suddenly somewhere else. At any rate, don't feel bad about not finding it yourself ; when I first saw this property in the docs, I didn't expect you could 'set' it as well. Oh, and speaking of the docs: they state it doesn't work on MacOS X under RunRev 1.1.1 Hope this helped nonetheless, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time."
