maybe a regen might work.

I've never really worked with Record/ShowHistory, maybe the ShowHistory is leaving the wireframe for you??

It seems that setting ShowHistory to true may be what is confusing the output, from the doc's:
Quote
Returns whether items in the history should be drawn when the sysvar SHOWHIST is 1.
Try setting SHOWHIST to 2 after running the method.

Thanks once again MickD. I think I've finally got it. Now I just need to tweak the text placement. Your assistance was very much appreciated!

It was good to think about this stuff again, it's been a while :)
