Thank you, I'll check it out this later evening (it's only 7:22pm here right now)

I am at wits end - if that means anything to those from the late 70s to early 80's.
I have been trying to find how to only close a 2nd window (about) by left click on the X but it always exits the program for the various ways I have tried.

I have a program with a menu, the menu has "File" which ...

Sigh, I'm coding for Linux.

After reviewing all of the replies and trying different methods, my old brain decided on this which I am sharing.
It might not be the correct method but I find it is the simplest for me to understand and maintain.

Form is created by PureVision.
I have 7 columns on each of 14 rows, each has a button ...

I'm fairly new to PB but in a running program If I need to get a gadget number and put it into an array I simply

Array_Buttons(Row,Col) = #Gadget_Form1_Button_Row14_Col4

or into a variable

x.i = #Gadget_Launch_VNC_Form1_Button_Row14_Col4

Re: Whether I still want to learn a new prog language at 72, I don't know.
Will support you in any case ;)
How did you start programming?

Thanks to all who tried to help.

In answer to mk-soft question I started programming in 1977-78ish using CP/M and Digital Research macro assembler at ...

when I place r1 = RunProgram.......... the one that works returns 1 and the one that does not returns 0 meaning it did not launch.
None of that matters anymore, I found the cause of the problem I was having.
It was @Luis reply about encoding that made me check the Notepad encoding when the txt file ...

@RASHAD
for your example using pointers did you try it? I tried and it did not work.
I'm still trying to figure out why.

@ Jeromyal

It is strange.

@Luis,
This second one that you tried and said it works does not work on my PC, I do not know why.
I need to use variables in the RunProgram line I don't have a choice as the users name in the path will vary depending on whose PC it is being run on.

Another issue I have with my PureBasic and I don ...
