>I understood. You're using the MOUSE command only for conversion from pixels to chars, not because you needed to move the mouse cursor... Interesting idea! Probably you move the mouse cursor back after you get the coordinates...

Actually, I leave the mouse there. I thought about putting the mouse back, but didn't try it. I figure the user is going to choose an item in my popup so might as well leave the mouse pointer right there where the popup is. I might try and see what kind of behavior I see by putting the mouse back after I get the coordinates just for kicks. But that's on the back burner until I figure out my problem when/if errors occur in my ON BAR routine (detailed in a different thread)!
