<BR><BR><BR><FONT face=Verdana size=2>If it's modelled on the AW structure,
then this is my take:<BR><BR>Erase=1 in the decision will erase anything the
decision structure left on screen when the flow moves out of that
structure.<BR><BR>EraseonExit=1 will leave any content the decision icon
structure displays until the decision icon structure is exited.<BR><BR>So
EraseonExit=1 should let your decision icons build up, Erase=1 will erase the
whole shebang when the dec structure is exited.<BR><BR>Dave

unusual if you work with flash, html, etc.</FONT><FONT face=Verdana size=2>
</FONT><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><BR>Small updates on my issue:</FONT><FONT

anymore ...</FONT><FONT face=Verdana size=2> </FONT><FONT face=sans-serif

display of the different pages works fine, the only drawback is, that the
previous content in the decision icon gets erased also (as it should be
regarding the help). I just want to build up my page using multiple
