Thank you for the reply. We are running the Perl Menu program on a Solaris 9 platform using Perl version 5.8.. Secondly, our menu structure goes to 3 or 4 levels and I do not know how to have it cascade to the next level using a mouse click. It seems to cascade automatically. I am sure this is something simple like adding some option to one of the fields. Any suggestions? I am stuck. thank you very much w3ntp
