Well, if you set up a command window (by using Wimp_CommandWindow) you can specify if you want a "Press SPACE..." message or not (see PRM). Of course you do not want a command window (you want the whole screen) but maybe this is one step towards the solution of your problem. I guess the programs who do what you want also first set up a command window and after that takes the whole screen. Disclaimer: I do not have the PRM's at work, so I am using my memory alone. ============================================================================== Walther Schoonenberg Vakgroep Econometrie Faculteit der Econonomische Wetenschappen en Econometrie * * * * * Vrije Universiteit * * * * De Boelelaan 1105 * * * * * 1081 HV Amsterdam * * * * The Netherlands * * * * * (020) 5483609 walther@econ.vu.nl ==============================================================================
