Joel,

Instead of the RETURN command in the sub-menu, try CLEAR EVENTS

HTH,

Phil

Why does this never excute anything after read events??? The menu is just one item and that is a submenu withthe one option of a command of RETURN. I click return and it returns, but does NOT execute lines after read events and when it returns, something is still running and if I edit a file (or do anything) I get funny boxes and strange results. OBVIOUSLY it is a problem with mt thought process on using the menu and read events.

THANKS
