That way there is a pause so your program will wait for keyboard input. Dwayne ______________________________________________________________ When i open the program the window is blank. None of the extra windows open up. so when i am working on programs, i can't see any of the errors windows at the bottom of the screen or any where else. :( like the menu that opens to show you the options you can you when you open the program. Question 2: how do i get those addtional menus/submenus to open? I want the program to have the menus that you see like in the diagram sheets you get when you purchase the software and there is a object map with all the views. :( Thank you Ivory . 0
