I am adding "use strict", and working out those issues, i have "use warnings" and "use diagnostics" for in-depth error checking, and I have answered most of the questions. The code you gave me did work, doing almost what I needed to do. I need multiple windows up at once instead of one at a time (because someone won't always be there to check the windows). That is what the array of characters is for (because I have no idea how to begin an infinite array or if that is even possible)and each new window needs a name. The timer is for returning -1 so each window can come up (otherwise I only get one window at a time). I figured out the open/close of the text file was a copy/paste error of mine, so fixed that. Right now I decided to go through the code you provided, dissect it and learn about the parts that I don't understand. So that is my current task. Then I can apply my new knowledge to my own code.
