Gerard, Ken,

----------
Be judicious in the use of colors, I think TS has limited capabilities in the display of colors. My partner advises me to use only multiples of 64 in the RGB properties.

you may want to use OS(10) and SYS(602) here.

IOW, your color palette isn't necessarily limited, but fontcolors should be dynamically configured to behave differently when running under TS.

For images, there is a BITMAP = OFF thing you can use in CONFIG.FPW as well.

We tend to supply two different CONFIG files, with a specific one set up for TS users. Since this is quite controllable (you have the command line arguments specified in what TS runs) it is a good strategy for a bunch of things you might set differently for TS users. This means no binding it into the app, which is a departure for my normal working style, but in this case it is worth it.

SET("REFRESH") comes to mind immediately, and I'm sure I specify where temp files go differently for TS rather than non-TS users of course. This is practically a must.

I don't have a good list off hand, but I'm sure I turn off OUTSHOW for TS users in the CONFIG file for TS as well. Other items that represent a refresh, STATUS, etc, are a good bet.

Another good thing about using an alternative CONFIG for this purpose is that it's instantly tunable, without code changes, as you experiment in your environment. I could give you information about numbers of users etc but that wouldn't really help you very much. The best thing to do is be reactive as you work in your own environment, and this is one excellent way to do it without having to take down the app.

HTH,
