That is, if the message window at the bottom is active, or has your cursor in it, then many of the menu commands (such as compile, make, run etc) are disabled, or as you say Ghosted. Just a thought. Oh, and the other thing I learned from Robert and SET is that you really don't need to use the DOS shell for much of anything except perhaps File manipulation (deletes, moves etc.). After learning how to Run with Parameters, I haven't used DOS shell once in perhaps three weeks.
