I added _screen.visible = .t. to my environment setup routine and its fixed. I still don't know how it broke!

At one time I had access to the properties window with the _SCREEN object having focus. I can't seem to get this back.

I'm thinking that I inadvertently set the VISIBLE property of the _SCREEN object to .f., and it is stored somewhere, resulting in the unexplained behaviour of my exe.
