Im having some problems with INIT.VIEW

When I run a program (which calls init.view) from TCL it works fine.

However when I run the same program from an Arev menu, the reults do not display and screw up the screen.

Equally when I run the program from an application window,the results cannot be seen until you exit the application window,and then yhey disappear prett quick.

Are there any definitive do's and dont's when running INIT.VIEW .

Are there any substansive instructions than that in the manual.

Thanks in advance

Mike,

I have had similar problems to yours. The issue, as best I could figure out, had to do with when a process ended and control returned to the system.

For calling from the menu, I had to put a wrapper process around the subroutine that actually used INIT.VIEW. All this wrapper did was declare the other subroutine and then call it. This worked, but I'm not sure exactly why.

I'm assuming that the same thing would work with the window as well.

HTH,
