This should take you no more than an hour tops from the creation of the square in the paint program to actually writing the code (a measley 7 lines of code) to put them on the screen. If you want me to send you a demonstration program , with documented code to help you along, let me know in private Email (so I don't stupidly circulate an attachment in the listserv like last time ;> ) David Gay http://www.digital-liquid.com/abgte A Beginner's Guide To Euphoria
