An even easier way is to simply click on the Query Icon with the right mouse button. This removes all the boxes and allows you to keep the query feature active. > > >By the way, how many territories has anyone conquered?

Your doing better than me. I've only gotten through about 20 or so territories so far. Just can't seem to find time to sit down and get anywhere. I think I did see a posting here a while ago with someone claiming to have conquered the lower right territory. Didn't claim to have done them all but went directly for the kill via a diagonal path. I hate people who can finish games this fast. At the rate I'm going it will take me a couple of years to finish. I'm already starting to have some trouble with some of the territories I'm coming up on. Guess it's time to change tactics, huh? ;-) > > JEFF KOTT > 34ZNYIR@CMUVM.BITNET -- Jim Tallant / mjt@voodoo.boeing.com / uunet!bcstec!voodoo!mjt / bogey on! ============================================================================== No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy - Ancient military maxum - The opinion of the strongest is always right - Jean De La Fontaine -

Sheesh. It took me two YEARS to finish Populous. Oh, and the reason more query boxes open up is because the program checks for anything under your pointer. If the close box icon happens to be in front of a tree, then you close your box, and query the tree at the same time.
