I guess that's what's happenning, as when I increased the files it worked. It seemed so extravagent that another 18 files would be open to run a simple pascal program I didn't even think it worth checking! I wonder what all the open files are? > FPC doesn't use the BIOS functions for drawing text characters in DOS - so > the original text attributes should be preserved after exiting for new text. Well, it's not, so I don't know what's going on there. I have some other computers and other compilers - I might try some mixing and matching to see if it's a problem with a specific computer/compiler (when I can find some time for this that is! :-( ). thanks, dp. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
