I don't have dBMAN, so can't comment on it's specifics, but I do _a lot_ of dBASE III programming and don't use their editor at all so that isn't a big deal to me. However, I'm curious…this is a multi-tasking machine we have here, is there a particular reason why you can't have both your editor and dBMAN available at the same time? Just switch screens rather than load and re-load etc the 2 programs. With the multi-tasking, all you would have to do is load and save source with the editor and switch screens to dBMAN and DO <program>…if you locate an error, switch screens again, load source fix and keep going. don
