Just use the window and you can generally avoid any run-ins with the farmer or his knife-wielding wife...unless something else entirely is going on and I've misunderstood. In any case, I've attached two images. Pressing Escape for enumeration clears the enumeration pop-up. Pressing Escape for syntax help hides the debug pane. Maybe Alt-Escape, Alt-Tab or something similar could toggle debug pane visibility. -- Kevin Fishburne Eight Virtues www: http://sales.eightvirtues.com e-mail: sa...@eightvirtues.com phone: (770) 853-6271 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
