The control N was what I was looking for so that you can check one screen at
a time rather than the whole program flashing past. My Electron had been in
semi-retirement for a while and I just couldn't remember the correct way. I
am an inveterate fiddler when it comes to programs and like to add/remove
chunks of basic and "customise" games (sorry to the purists and game
writers). It's also handy for checking on things when you can't find the
instructions and fascinating to see how the programs are actually
constructed. It was getting a little boring typing List x,y all the time.
Thanks for the help.
