Hi Matt,

Yeah i guess that makes sense...then now i have to find images to 
represent open, save, etc.  Anyone do a project with a bitmap
like that already?  Or else i have to draw them all.
I guess i could spare 16 pixels at the top of the main window.

Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
