For those of you who insist on not pressing the return key after 80 columns, you should know that some people are only getting part of your message!

Sorry Stuart, at least two of these are documented - perhaps a little difficult to find amidst the sea of manuals :-) SQL from the command line - Informix SQL User Guide - Appendix I err_get - Informix 4GL Reference Manual - page 6-13 I suppose fgl_drawbox might be documented as well, but I don't have all my 4GL manuals handy at the moment. I would be careful about relying too heavily on undocumented features though - you never know when they may disappear.
