THANKS AGAIN

You've hit upon two very perplexing and frustrating issues, namely
(1) checking for the existence of the browse window - ??? any ideas? and
(2) the lack of documentation

I've spent a whole day tring to get some understanding of this. It seems that question has come up a few times and I don't see any solutions.

Your suggestion to use getpad and nowait were real interesting; however I couln't get and further along either because of my poor coding or how well the system is trying to hide this info.
