Well, I can answer item 1.

Put the statement "Read Events" immediately after your program calls the menu. If you are working directly with a form, then put it immediately after the statement that calls the form. The companion statement "Clear Events" should be placed before you issue a Cancel or Quit statement. Finally if you are using a program to call the menu or the form, then put "Read Events" immediately after you make the call to the menu or the form and the "Clear Events" just before the Cancel or Quit statements . These statements need to be used only once during the whole program. Note that those statements should not have quotes, I put them in to separate them from the rest of the text.

You probably know this, but, the purpose of those statements is to enable your application to accept input. If the application does not have this, it will go its merry way to the end, and that seems to be the behavior you are seeing now.

Someone else will chip in for items 2 and 3. Good luck to you.
