   agreed.. but your original statement was that runtime IS broken..

   can't say that I know of that problem, but without specifics it would be   
   hard to guess..

   can't be much simpler than what I suggested.. anything else would be more   
   complex and less "normal"..

   you're tring too hard  (g).. K.I.S.S..

   again.. K.I.S.S.. if you want to cancel what's in the dialog, just cancel or   
   reset the dialog and start again.. that's the simple, "normal" programming   
   approach..

   there's hardly any interest in PdoxWIN these days, let alone PdoxDOS..   
   you're about ten years too late..

   to expand on what Michael said, TurboPAL was an experiment that was never   
   completed, and essentially failed.. honestly, you might the only one in the   
   world still using it..   
      
   even w/o that, you're not doing yourself any favors by holding onto the old   
   DOS stuff like that.. even Mike and I struggle to find the time to help   
   people these days.. if you get hit by a bus, who takes over?.. if Vista or   
   the next version won't run your app, will you stick with outdated hardware   
   and software til it all breaks down?

   thank you.. but I hope you're realizing that I'm gonna tell you what you   
   need to hear, not what you want to hear.. you should re-think your future   
   before it's too late.. disaster WILL strike, sooner or later, and there's   
   nobody left to bail you out..
