Roy, Okay, 1.31 is up and running here. Seems to be working properly, though I would make two small comments: 1) Is there a method available to have the clock come up in full width mode? If so, it is _not_ shown in the .doc file. If there is none, I would strongly urge that you add this switch (PLEASE? 8). 2) For esthetics, it might be useful to either slip Time: one space to the left or do away with the colon. Reason: in the tens of ours the readout looks like Time:10:14:45, which is somewhat difficult to read at a glance. Thanks again for a wonderful program! Nybbles!

I'll have to check the docs, but I was sure that I listed FULLWIDTH as an argument line toggle. It also should be given when you type RSLClock ? <return>. As far as blanking out Time:, that's what the highlight function is for. If you type: RSLClock HIGHLIGHT INVISIBLE <return> , you should have what you want! Try it out! -RSL-

Roy, Nono… I don't want to BLANK OUT Time:; I was just suggesting it be moved one notch to the left, to leave a space between it and the time is all. I will try FULLWIDTH in a few minutes; I will also check the docs to see if it's listed. Nybbles!

I'm afraid to say that I forgot to list FULLWIDTH in the docs, but did include it in the program itself when you type a '?' when invoking the program. I will see what I can do. I will re-compile another version with the change you suggested and see what it looks like when there are two spaces after the word time (i.e. Time: 6:06 AM). -`^=~?~?~?~?RSL-
