Thanks erasio - it was indeed pointed out - but I didn't realise how I was doing it.

I did google it but nothing explained how it happens, at least the search results I got.

Now you have pointed out why it happens I won't do it again. But jeez guys, don't get so grumpy with me!

You _could_ just offer some advice and help to a noob...?

Really sorry everyone - I'm new to this lark and didn't realise I was doing it.

OMG! I have no idea how I'm doing that! So sorry!

Seriously, someone tell me how I keep doing that? I'm really not trying to annoy you - honest.

yes - and I apologised in my last post for the duplicate - as I said I'm a noob and i will make mistakes. If it helps, I apologise again for the dup[licate post.

Hi Guys, Getting some success now. The code to get rid of the squares worked, and the code to draw separate canvasses worked too! I figured a workaround for the superimposed graphics by using 'printf': --Read first 12 chars local line = file:read(12):gsub("\r", "") canvas:renderT...

All three of you, sorry!

Thanks so much for the help both of you - off to bed now as I have an early start but will get back to you with results tomorrow. Cgheers,
