Having more than one interlace screen open at the same time as one or more non-interlaced screens is inviting disaster. That this was not fixed in 1.3 is somewhat amazing. But there is a patch available called FixIntuition. You run it in your startup-sequence and it patches Intuition. I'm using it, but I haven't actually checked to see if it fixes the problem since I rarely open multiple interlace screens. I downloaded the patch from BIX, but it is probably available via FTP from somewhere. >Chris Brand - wizard@sosaria.ccs.imp.com Jim
