However I did not know the trick with the * asterix After _4prt.bmp is written... press Alt E to leave Arachne press PV to start PV.BAT to go to PictureView do converting, printimg etc with PV Esc to leave PV .... in the PV.BAT there is "exit" to return to ARACHNE I had to activate "virtual screen = 2000" in arachne.cfg ^P will not run without virtual screen **************************** I did see the two new lines and changed the first to: file/printbmp.dgi |[100]C:\\pictview\\pv.exe -4prt.bmp /x this brings me also to pictureview... BUT after leaving PV the screen turns to black and stays that way... only Alt X does bring me back to C:\ How to get back to Arachne? ZBM packing and unpacking is OK... but I first had to place PKZIP and PKUNZIP in Arachne directory. CU Bastiaan
