Vlad,

Thanks for the tip, but it doesn't seem to make any difference, the code is still invisible until I page UP/Down or other similar action. The code in the keyboard (via ON("KEY","F6") ) is:

keyboard "{CTRL+X}*{SHIFT+LBRACE} fj 02/28/2002 {Enter}{CTRL+V}{enter}*{SHIFT+RBRACE} fj 02/28/2002 {Enter}{Enter}{CTRL+F}{SHIFT+LBRACE}{ALT+B}{ALT+N}{ALT+B}{CTRL+Q}{END}"

Set this to a function key, modify a program, select some text, and you will see what I mean.

>Hi!

>Did you tried the commands like "SHOW WINDOW WONTOP() REFRESH"?

>>Hi all,

>>I have a function key that does the following:
>>
>>Copy the selected text to the clipboard, type in a "*{ 01/01/01 fj ", a paste from the clipboard, then a closeing comment. It ends with a backwards search to find the opening bracket and position the cursor at the end of that line so that I can add comments about the block of code I am about to edit.
>>
>>When I run this, two or three lines following the cut and pasted text dissappear. They are not gone, just invisible. If I move the cursor down to where they should be and type, they magically reappear. I can also pageup/down to fix it as well.
>>
>>I want to add a command similar to _screen.activeform.cls(). However, I can't get an object reference to the editor.
>>
>>I can get the editor window name via wontop(). AselObj only works on controls as does sys1270. _screens.forms doesn't help either. So I can get the name of the current window, but I can't get an object reference to it. I seem to recall doing this once before, but I just can't remember how to get an object reference to a window when all I have is the window name.

>>Any ideas?

>>Thanks,
