Thanks for this reply.  I have tried "everything", but I had not realized 
that the IDE (which I stay in... yes, I'm the one!) shells out to compile. 
 I might as well use QEDIT or TSE ( I have them both reg'ged) and compile via 
shroom or at the command line.  That explains why "hooking up to the Network" 
slows me down even tho' I have 32 Megs of MEM at work and only 4 meg at home 
on the laptop where it's faster(the laptop is 486-25 vs work's Pentium90)  I 
will try just compiling it off the command line and write a batch thingy to 
do it all.  Then use the PB32 debugger in the IDE for sleuthing when I need 
it.  Appreciate muchly.  David       
 
P.S. Bob Z and Dave N at PB - are you reading this?  ;-(
