Not quite, I meant the dialog just didn't completely show up...*sigh*... I opted for the brute force method, and used resedit to re-adjust all the dialogs. Around half of them were set to show up at the 0,0 screen position. This just happened to be covered by the menu bar, therefore, the dialogs and alerts wouldn't completely show up.

I've only run into that situation once, and that was with a desk accesory I use to initialize the serial/parrallel converter I use to talk to my laser printer. (a HP LJII clone...).

No doubt, there is a problem here. I'll try and remember NOT to use Hypercard any more than I have to...;) \ Ken Corey, VAX/Unix Programmer/Operator (And GOD am I confused...;) / \ kenc@vaxb.acs.unt.edu ken@isect.lonestar.org /
