Brian, Thanks for your help. >>> Of course, this won't scroll or anything. If you want to scroll through text, then you'll probably want to put the text from the resource into a TextEdit record, add a few scroll bars, etc etc. That's about 100-500 lines of code (100 lines for uncommented spaghetti, 500 lines for nice modular reusable code). <<< That's really what I'm after. I'll settle for some uncommented spaghetti if you've got some. I've got my own, but I obviously don't know what I'm doing. I have a help screen I've written that contains a topic list and a scrolling text area (which doesn't scroll yet). But I'm not doing a good job of recovering memory for what I've already got … losing 200-500 bytes each time I display new text. Rgds, Ron
