Show Commands are Slowing Speed of Filepro

operating sys: win2000 advanced server


I recently tried upgrading from 5.0.09 to 5.0.14. After installing the upgrade I noticed some of my programs go quite a bit slower. Where I notice it the most is where I draw a screen with a header and footer, then put a browse window between them. I use quite a few show command to overwrite the top and bottom lines of the browse with a different color and some graphic characters to make the browse window look more like part of the screen. I know the simple solution is not to do the show commands but the older version 5.0.09 went about 3-4 times faster when scrolling through the browse with the show commands. Something must have been changed between these two versions, (probably for fpgui?). Is there anyway to get the speed back with the newer version?

P.S. the gosub for the show commands is in the processing for the browse.

Thanks You in Advance
