Hi Robert,

No worries.

This is _not_ good news!  Did your GUI invocation get to the point of
bringing up the 'mcimage' window and having it reparented by Tk?

If the answer to the above is no, I would try bringing up the GUI with no
ADDE datasets defined and seeing what happens.  To do this, you would
have to delete MCTABLE.TXT (after backing it up somewhere first!) and
ADDESITE.TXT (ditto on the need to back it up first!!) before starting
the GUI.  This way, there will be nothing for the Building ADDE Server
Pop-Up to do.  This test would be most interesting to me since it should
answer the question about whether the SSEC approach to 'mcimage' reparenting
succeeds while mine fails.

re:

I must say that I have not tried to bring up the Fkey menu in several years,
so I can not shed any light onto it locking up.

Cheers,

Tom
