(some tips,and if you have > some free time, and if you want, send me an e-mail of yours, so I could send > you some questions personally...I'll realy appreciate it.) i'm doing somethings somewhat similar... i would recommend a script file for the menus and text and colours and that with an .ex file to do all the routines... what i did was in the script file, it was normal text, but the ; (semi-colon) was a special character so whenever it encountered a semi-colon it would look to the characters right after that to see what to do... for example, ;c04,06 might change the colour to foreground colour 4 and background colour 6 and (in my program) ;B and ;b would turn the 'bold' on and off... just a though :>
