thanx fuentez, I think I have read almost the half documentation for the agents from microsoft until now . Ok we can have as many characters we want on screen but one is over the other. Everytime I try to move them , they start move but they do not complete their movement. I think this an kixtart "olecall" limitation . It would be very beautifull if the damn bird could fly aound the screen. The other starnge thing is that the characters are active as long the string is running with the sleep commands.
