A while ago I was trying to figure out why the printed text in my "About..." dialog's user item was not showing up. Here's the solution for interested bodies: The 'bug' was the position of my COORDINATE WINDOW statement. When I called my dialog the first time, it was prior to my COORDINATE WINDOW statement, so my text was not being drawn in the proper position with the PRINT% statement: FN ShowAboutDialog COORDINATE WINDOW WINDOW #1, blah, blah, blah Calling my dialog after the COORDINATE WINDOW statement solved the problem: COORDINATE WINDOW FN ShowAboutDialog WINDOW #1, blah, blah, blah I sure hope that this solution will save someone some time sometime soon.
