db+ I would like to include a window on a form that allows me to see
information stream as it is processing, much like the window below the
Command Window in the IDE. How can I do that?

Dan,

An editor will work--- just replace the editor contents with whatever
output you want, concatenating each new line of output with something
like this:

form.ed1.value += newstuff + chr(13)

You may have to force a redraw of the form for each new line.

Let me know if you have trouble...been a while since I did this sort
of thing, but I may be able to it dig up an example.

In other words, you are saying that if I start my program with SET TALK ON
it will stream in that editor just like it does in the IDE? That's what I
want it to do.

No.

You might be able to use SET ALTERNATE with SET TALK ON and save output to a
file which you use to periodically update an editor object.
