@atom: oh ok…. I did the test you did with a clean "new" panel made in Rev. 557 and it did indeed work right after close/open… i think the problem is with using code from a panel made with 526 is where the problem is. oh well… no problem, i will finish this last panel with the workarounds i made in the absence of working mulit messages.
keep up the fine work Mr. Atom!
