David, Brian, Thanks for your work on this. I'm learning a lot from the discussion. David, it's interesting what you said about processing the WM_MESSAGES. Before I posted my question, I looked through some old reference books on Turbo C++ and the old Borland OWL (which I never really understood) to find a way to intercept messages. From that, and looking at some example programs, I cobbled together an event intercepter without really understanding what I was doing. Not unusual for me, I'm not really a programmer, I'm used to programming by voodoo. So I started it up. Surprise! It crashed. Fortunately, it didn't bring down the entire system, just the program. Nothing seemed corrupted/damaged, no infinite loops that I could tell, but it sure as shootin' didn't work. Yesterday I tried the onTimer. It took a little while for me to learn how to use it, but once I got it working, it worked like a charm, and I can't really tell I'm not in a tight loop. I'm curious to see exactly how much slower Brian's code is, and what it does. I might try it at home this weekend, where my chances of unleashing global devastation are somewhat less should I goof something up between the reading and the implementation. Sherm
