Ooooerrrr. Very weird.

Now I take it the code you've posted is a example rather than your ACTUAL code.
Thats cool, but if Im guessing correct its causing us an issue in diagnosis.

The digits being 'overlayed' as you describe, sounds like there is multiple layers of panel.
This can happen if you're using pan_create to spawn a panel at run time, and spawn
new copies ON TOP OF the old one. BUT the example you give is a globally defined one,
and that cant happen with them. There IS only one.

If Im wrong with my above statement, that leaves me with two REMOTE possibilities.
1> DirectX issues on your computer. (Test by playing games)
2> Youve somehow managed to get the Global Panel definition INSIDE a function. Its rare,
but it can be done. Ive done it with sloppy cut and paste a couple of times.

Any help?
