I would guess that it would happen on the first option of any page N+1.

If you omit the command string ("Ppppppp...p"), it works OK. If you split the two command keys "n" and "p" into separate options, it doesn't happen. |> Thanks |> MM |> |> PS: I'm running Informix-4GL 4.10 in a DECstation with Ultrix 4.2 |> |> | Manuel Figueiredo Monteiro You were the first user to report this.
