Thanks for the help, but I still don't get it. I tried this: optionMenu -label "Attributes" -q -sl optionMenuName -cc $printSelected; but I got errors saying that both -sl and -cc were invalid flags. Maybe I don't need the -cc, but that still doesn't explain why it claims those flags are invalid. I also tried : optionMenu -q -sl optionMenuName; , but I get the error "Object not found: optionMenuName" So in what way am I misunderstanding you? -dann
