Gene, glad I could help. 1) Thanks. 2) I know what you mean. Actually, the AmigaBasic manual for the Amiga is probably the best manual CBM has ever shipped for any of their computers. What I wish they would add to the manual is a few pages to act as a quick reference of what the commands are. They could have an alphabetical list of all the AmigaBasic commands with a one liner about what the command does, then have another list, but broken down into 'type' of commands, like sound, graphics, math, string manipulation, etc. It would make it a lot easier for people to find the command to do what they want especially when they can't remember what the command is!! (I fall into that category since I don't use too many of the features of AmigaBasic) 3) hehe The "while 1<>2 … wend" ha he haha ha ha.. (SORRY about that) No, it has nothing to do with the menus. I wanted a loop that would go on forever, and that was the first thing that popped into my head! Since 1 will never equal 2, the loop will go on forever. I terminate the loop via the menu command I had in my menu. The while…wend has nothing to do with the menu stuff. Hope that cleared up that little bit of confusion I may have inflicted into your mind 8). 73, Kelly
