This isn't strictly true. Experience and other netters as pointed out that you *must* lose one line, not four. To achive this set the following: form line first comment line last prompt line last message line last The menu line doesn't appear to cause a problem. It would, however be *very* nice to have full control, with run-time errors if attempts were made to access switched off lines. > > How about it Informixers?
