No, that's "yet TWO more programs in the field". I think they need to be consolidated. The System Status Bar is more than just a fancy dancy scripting language. It's a Modal Dialog catcher. I don't even know if that's possible, given the current state of that dialog include file. I know I'll be developing my own little API for it, so other programs can send messages via IPC to it. But I don't think I can 'steal away' the dialogs, in the way they're fashioned in Dialog1.inc
