>I'm taking over on a project and at first glance at the code, I thought the programmer had put the menu in a loop and "rolled his own" READ EVENTS. However, I later noticed a CLEAR EVENTS and you don't call that without a READ EVENTS, so I found the CLEAR EVENTS in an unexpected place (to me, at least). It was in the cleanup code of the menu. Just wondering . . . anybody seen this done? Any advantages (I wouldn't think so). I always put it in the main (startup) program.

You can put CLEAR EVENTS anywhere you want to exit. So it is technically OK to put it in the Exit or Quit option in the menu, but a little strange in the cleanup menu code. I still prefer to do it in a PRG as you mention so you can call it from anywhere and basically always goes back to your PRG for cleanup.
