I got behind in reading my e-mail and missed that this was the solution to my problem. The use of the 1 was the better choice. If I move the line wd 'pshow' I got a frame for the picture but the toucan doesn't show up until the sound finishes.
require 'gui/gtkwd' wd 'pc form closeok' wd 'xywh 0 0 100 100;cc b1 button bs_ownerdraw;cn "/users/owner/j701-user/temp/toucan.bmp"' 'winmm PlaySoundA > i *c x i'&cd 'c:\users\owner\j701\willie\00will.wav';0;1 wd 'pshow' It is quite wonderful to have these problems working again after almost 10 years. Thank you all for the sound and the music.
