Gary: Sorry, I use on menukey gosub (this is for all keypresses and NOT for AmigaMenu-key sequences) the routine I jump to makes a cursor (non graphic, just wap colors!) and such… I'm not sure if you could make heads or tales of it as it reads the RAW key number and converts it – also allows ALT set, Control set, etc…Amiga keys are also available if not in use as a menu key. (I happen to LIKE esc to erase text) The only bad thing is arrow and function key routines are Hardcoded into the subroutine. You would have to do some fixing up. Especially to allow non standard text sizes. As far as TEXT alignment, that's what I do too! I hate string gads that don't allow underscores or look wierd when text is in em (you know, like too many pixels between border, or more pixels above characters than below) Anyway, as GFA doesn't work on a A3000 in 2.04, I really don't use it much anymore, and I really don't like 1.3 now that I'm 2.0 spoiled! If I get the chance, I'll try it on my A500 and let you know. JohnB 76256,3436 – via Whap!
