If your app starts and immediately exits, it is probably because of one of two things:

1. You don't have a READ EVENTS statement

or

2. Your main form is set as "In-Screen" and when you make the _screen invisible, the form goes invisible with it. In this case, your application is not gone, it is just hiding.
