Pete - Thanks for the reply. I suspected a call or a poke into the event que would work but does anybody know how to do this? I recall, a long time ago reading about a system global in low mem that was checked for such a thing but I don't know what that was, if it's still valid, and if the other programs use it. Surly, there is a way to do this and somebody knows how.
