Those warning dialogs (end of file etc) are timed and designed to go away on their own if you do nothing. Thus the behaviour you describe is perfectly normal. The timeout is around 1.5 - 2 seconds. The only problems you should see running the old SBpro under Workbench 2 are a spurious white line running through the VCR Panel (tm), and some font funnies in the menus/dialogs/requesters if you select a large system font. > > thanks > Scott Corley -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy W.
