OK, thanks for your help, but I'm confused on two things you mentioned.

First, you say that there is no mention of "MessageBox" in the Win32::GUI documentation. When I installed the Win32::GUI module, It installed a HTML file called Win32::GUI::Reference::Methods - Common Methods This file tells me directly how to use the MessageBox command. It also states, that when using MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION I should leave the hWnd (or Handle) off. I didn't have to modify the package (and with my programming skills, I wouldn't want to attempt it).

Secondly, I installed the Win32::API module to try your sample code and I could not get it to work. I am unable to find the protocol.pm. I have looked in PPM & CPAN but have not found it.

I do realize that it's probably something simple that I've overlooked, however this too I can learn and one day I may eventually evolve into a good programmer.

Thanks.
