You will definitely need a READ EVENTS at the point in your code when you are ready for the user to begin interacting with the application. Different developers place the command at different places, but you'll need to get all your initialization done, menus in place, etc., then issue the READ EVENTS. You must also place functionality ( in a button, menu choice, etc. ) that will execute CLEAR EVENTS when the user is erady to exit the application.
