Doug, >> I don't understand what you mean when you say "put a clock into >> your screen interface". Do you mean the AmigaVision screen interface? >> If so, how do you do this? I have never done this and I haven't used ver. 1.xx of AV in years but my guess is that you would create a loop that would: 1) Use the variable icon to put the time into a variable eg. "TimeVar == CLOCK()" where "TimeVar" is a user defined variable and could be any name. The variable would be best to be global. 2) Then use the GFx icon. Enter the forms editor, create a text box, double click on it to open the text info requestor, and click on the VAR button and select the variable that you defined (eg. TimeVar). Then create a loop so the time will be updated. This graphic will then be displayed on top of any graphics that you display but as I said I probably won't work with animations. I haven't tested this but I hope it helps. If you need faster feedback then send me CMail.
