Try doing all PRINTing or graphics work either in the _nullevent (for
cursor read outs or other temporary display) or the _wndupdate event -
if you use the PG shell you'll find it alot easier.

Thanks for all the help. I couldn't get an edit field drawn by just
using
Autoclip = _false, but I have hopes for Andys method using PRINT.
However,
with this function all I get is the text flashed once fast and then it
disappears.

LOCAL FN buildWind
  WINDOW 1,"Simpletween",(0,38)-(300,200),_doczoom+_noAutoClip
  Height =WINDOW(_height)
  Wideness =WINDOW(_width)
  wd$=STR$(Wideness)
  he$=STR$(Height)
  msg$ =wd$+"x"+he$
  PRINT%(0,WINDOW(_height)+12)msg$
END FN

Have I missed something obvious? If I can't get this one running I'll
have
a go at the trickier looking solutions with setting Clip regions etc.

Cheers, Paul
