Thanks for the input guys. I now have an ON SHUTDOWN routine that works whereas before I did not. I would still like to not have the menu that goes along with the 'controlbox'. It is very confusing for my users (they are mostly veryyyy low grade computer users and having the control box menu participate with my regular menu is disconcerting). I know this is not according to the interface standard but I am not trying to be certified - not in that sense anyway. So my question is -IS THERE ANY WAY TO DISABLE THE MENU BUT HAVE THE CONTROLBOX AVAILABLE???
