Dear netlanders, every once in an while I had the problem that a window wouldn't respond the first time I clicked eg. the closer. I figured it was a rare bug burried in GEM. But now I always have this problem with a program that I wrote myself. I found out that this only happens when I turn off the menu (using menu_bar(...,1)) while the user can work with he window. Turning the menu off an d on isn't the usual thing to do, but as far as I know there is nothing in the developers docs that says that I'm not allowed to use menu_bar during the program. So the question is, if there is any way around this problem that one has to click twice to close the window ? Do other people have this, too ? I also tried to turn off the menu by using menu_ienable on all the menu titles, but as soon as I move the mouse on the still selected, but disabled title I get garbage on the screen. Any ideas ? - Jan -- Jan Willamowius E-Mail: jan@janhh.hanse.de Nienredder 6 2000 Hamburg 54 "A-Ram-A-Lam-A-Ding-Dong" (The Edsels)

I rather use 'close file' option from the file menu. I've notified Prospero about the matter quite long ago and they have not solved it in their latter versions. Rahin
