Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply!

I'm new to Perl. Last time I remember making Windows programs was 25 years ago.
With VB, and it was easy as Windows 3.0. Now it's so complicated.

The Strict and Warnings were holding me up from going further. I do plan on adding them back.

Re your while problem: perhaps using an equality test rather than an assignment would be worth considering?
I don't know what to put there instead of while.

And, "return where?" -- looks to me like an exit from the package to return to your main.
I don't want to exit...I think? I need the server to stay online and listen for new commands, then update the text.
I also don't want the text highlighted. The recorded text should remain in the box un-editable.
