It's entirely possible that it doesn't if you've played with the attributes (or haven't played with them - who knows). I do both. Set it to INVISIBLE and overwrite with ****. Having played with GUI screens for the last 2+ years, I'm finding 4GL screens a bit limited in real estate. Anyone know a good, preferably free/shareware, terminal emulator for Win95 that does 132 cols and colours? Win95 telnet is a bit....limiting. Peter Wiley
