Hi Lane,

thanks for your answer it works great and gives me a lot of new ideas 
that I can work with.
That "while 1" command looks interessting. I never used while that way. 
The Library Reference doesn't explain it. But am I right if I assume 
that this is  a loop that continues forever? Despite using break of 
course. I ask, because your suggestion works, but unfortunately uses 
100% of my CPU power. :-( Well, it works, but is there maybe another way 
to do the same without using so much of my resources? :-) That would be 
great.

Thank's again.
Tom
