Thank you VERY much Rick. I now have the window displaying before main is
run.
I still have a minor problem. I have routines in main that dynamicly
configure widgets based on what the routine is doing.
I could rewrite main to call subroutines to do each task, but I want you
input if you think it would work before I reorganize my whole routine set.
You have been a great help and I hope to hear back from you again.
