need a source code so that once i have finished using the window and it says inactive, the window shuts down automaticlly.
any ideas?
cheers....

You're running your program in a DOS box i suppose ...

Well, you cannot make it closing when it terminates by some code.
These things are handled by Window$. To close automatically your window when your program finishes, do the folloqing :

do to the directory where your compiled program (with a .EXE extension) is.
Looki at the .PIF file associated with. (eg if your program is MyProg.PAS, go to the dir where MyProg.EXE is located ans serch for MyProg.PIF).
Select it, and open contextual menu (with right mouse button) ans select "Properties". look at the options and check "Close after program finishes" or something like that.

Hope it helps.

Even easier, is to run the program, then while it is running, hit ALT-SPACE and select PROPERTIES. Select the CLOSE ON EXIT check box and hit OK.

ITS SIMPLE!
EG.
USES WINCRT;
BEGIN
WRITE('HELO');
DONEWINCRT;
END.

THE 'DONEWINCRT' WILL CLOSE THE WINDOW
