That could majorly confuse the automation monitoring tool !! I am just having a reality check and wondering if it is not a lot simpler than I had been thinking. If I could remember how to define the screen (which would be virtual) as a (no)glass teletype then that should really do just what I want (I think). Colin Allinson Amadeus Data Processing GmbH
