Suggestions:

1) embrace MSGBOX for warnings, etc. Easy to use and you can set the icon to "?", "!" and the like. It's also a great tool for debugging.

2) abandon the old DOS colors. Use CWCOLOR to change your Comet screens to Windows Colors. Saves a lot of toner when users do "Print Screen".

3) If you want some color coding of your Comet screens because users can't give up the old warm and fuzzy color scheme, try setting wallpaper colors. See my earlier post on (WallPaperColor). I can post some code if your interested.
