Thanks for the advice, jonathan...

...but, you're now making me panic! :)

As most of my apps make use of PG's scrolling lists and related functions,
I'll have to find alternatives.

There are a couple of demos on the CD that look like a good starting point:
Create Resource File, (Robert P. 13 February 2002)
and
List Mgr Demo, (Alain. 22 November 2001).

If anyone has any other suggestions, it would be appreciated.

Cheers
Bernie
