Codes that call other codes (e.g Signum calling its printer routines, EasyDraw calling OUTPRINT.PRG) needed shel_fix to work properly. Yes, I use shel_fix and it works - except on CRICIT. CRICIT editor will not call CRICIT register and vice versa if these codes were launched from NeoDesk. They work properly when launched from the standard desktop. Anyone know why (Dan Wilga, are you out there?)?

He can be reached via e-mail but I can't find his address at the moment - it's in your Neodesk docs someplace, though. I don't know about CRICIT launched from Neodesk, but I have been around the block a few times with shel_fix and Neodesk. I've found that certain auto programs interfere with shel_fix at times. These programs are G+Plus and Universal Item Selector II. (I'm sure there are others). Note, I said at times. I've seen shel_fix work with some progs and not with others, all in the same set-up. If you use these progs, I find that the following execution order works with all my applications: G+Plus shell_fix UISII Hope this helps!
