Hello Mervyn,

      The delays had no effect here. That's why I removed them :)

      Thanx, Mervyn.
 MB> I liked your idea of hitting a key to get the fadeup. The two together

     Hmmm... more like a screen saver. I use the fade as one of a few cls
     routines called randomly. After the fadeout mode 3 is called and the
     cursor is placed upper left.
Kind regards, Barry
