Donna, it sounds like you are not executing your code in a DOS window. If you open a DOS window and execute your code "as kix32 scriptname.kix" then all the error text will remain on the screen for you to see.

If you post your code, we will take a look at it. Make sure you paste it between the code tags (clisk button "code" below edit window on the page).
