>>Yeah, it can be Bruce. What I am trying to avoid is that losing the UI basics of the application. My immediate resolution to this is that, keeping the ON SHUTDOWN to its default setting while form is in loading mode, and then bring back ON SHUTDOWN DO something if it is already necessary.

>I guess there are several ways that'll work. Don't forget to keep in mind the top-level idea for the future, though :) It really simplifies all the early parts of an application, since you just fire the TL in the main PRG, and all other code goes into the TL itself, where you have complete control. In fact, there are no more procedures or functions anywhere in an application, since they all become TL methods if needed at a high-level.

Thanks for the reminder and I will seriously consider that approach.
