I think you can do this, but you may need to provide the function that creates the frame. There are two variables which can be used to specify the functions used to open and close a window to display the diary. It would probably be possible to use functions that display the window in its own frame and then close the window and delete the frame. regards, Tim -- tcross (at) rapttech dot com dot au
