This prevents the nasty double page flick between codeview's screen and the desktop when you step, set breaks, etc. Although this environment is easy to set up on a PC, I have so far had zero success setting it up on a PS/2. My config is a PS/2, an 8514/A adapter card, and two monitors - one plugged into the 8514/A and the other into the PS/2's standard onboard VGA connector. IBM claim that using codeview with 2 monitors is impossible. From my foolings around, this may indeed be true (for PS/2's, mind you). Anyone ever had success in this area? nico -- nico@micrognosis.los-gatos.ca.us Vique's Law: "A man without religion is like a fish without a bicycle."
