Hello netters, I have a query about procedures in Pascal. I am fairly new to Pascal but am well familiar in the concepts being a native C programmer. I am in the middle of writing a database application but have come upon a snag that I must circumvent to finish the program. Here is the scenario: I have gone from MAIN to a procedure which displays a menu of commands on the screen for the user to choose from. All of the commands call other procedures. The problm is that one of the choices is "Return to main menu" which lies in procedure main. Must I take this menu out of the main program and put it in it's own seperate procedure. In C its's ...it's simply a matterer of calling MAIN again... Thanks for your time and assistance. Perrone T. Ford

sorry, in pascal the outer block (main) is a special animal. often there are initializations that happen there behind your back (like opening input and output). create a procedure 'main' and call it from the outer block. mr
