I also noticed another oddity - I checked how the token "hidden" is used, under the assumption that since you can execute the "hide" command on an object (like a button), I thought perhaps that: put button 1 is hidden put button 1 is not hidden would work as expected... but it doesn't! If you have a visible button, and executed both of the two statement above, you get: put button 1 is hidden --> false put button 1 is not hidden --> true which is correct. But if you then hide the button with: hide button 1 and then executed the two statements you get this: put button 1 is hidden --> false put button 1 is not hidden --> true which is *incorrect*. However checking "the visible" works as expected. Odd... Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
