Hi Robert. I'm aware that I didn't really need the c = 0. It was just done in frustration in not working out the bug <smile>. I don't understand why I need to link in the -lc32 library though. Would it have to do with portability? There is one problem I have been trying to figure out that you might be able to help me with… If I wanted to print some text to the screen for a period of time and then let it clear I see UNIX has the function sleep(number); where number is a # of seconds. Have you seen the same effective function in MANX? I have the 3.6a and haven't seen anything like it. Another way would be is to have the user -Hit any key- and the program continues. If it isn't to long an explanation, could you tell me how to get that to work WITHOUT having to hit the return key? Or at least tell me what section to read up on. Thanks for your time! Henry = Henry;
