	I did a straight cut and paste of the sample code for opening and closing the command area from http://www.lantica.com/Forum2/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=program;action=display;... When I execute the code it works ok for opening and closing the command area, but if you forget to open the menu before exiting the form, the option to open the comand area from the View!OpenCommandArea pulldown menu is greyed out and you are stuck with no way to do anything except exit Sesame and reload it. Is this normal? I am running a 1.04 windows client against a linux server

	Yes, this is normal. You told Sesame to close the command tree. When the programmer tells Sesame to close the tree, only the programmer can reopen it. The menu choice becomes disabled so that the user cannot override the instructions from the programmer. If you use 1.1 (previously called 1.0.5), you can use SetDefaultTab to ensure that the user always returns to a Form that allows them to reopen the command tree, if necessary.
