Tom,
The READ EVENTS line puts FoxPro into a wait state. You need to issue a CLEAR EVENST to kill that wait state. In the Unload event of the form, you can have the following code:

clear events

When you exit the form, this code will execute and clear the wait state.

You don't need CLEAR EVENTS after the READ EVENTS because it won't be executed until after the READ EVENTS has been cleared.

HTH.
