I am quite new to all this - I have written a very simple procedure which, in a
nutshell is as follows:-

            AsignFile
            OpenFile
Repeat
           Read Record from File
           Display Record
           Show   <-----------------------------------------This is my problem
area, see below
Until EoF
          CloseFile

At the Show point I want to be able to decide what to do, eg Exit, Display Next
Record etc.   If I use show it reads to the end of the file and returns to
where the procedure was called from. If I use ShowModal the screen flashes
eachtime I display a new record - how do I stop this please

Try the following:

AssignFile
OpenFile
Read first Record
ShowModal
Repeat
        Read next Record
        Update Modal Window  <--- Thats the point
until EOF
Destroy Modal Window

In the Update-Routine you only fresh up the displayed data. The Window
itself will not be closed meanwhile. I think this will fix your problem.
