_GuiSnap("title", '', 35, 4, 34)

The example is right You have made all parameters optional, so u don't have to use them, just put title as GUIHandle, then it works

[billthecreator]

oh. i actually didnt know that. wow.. ha. in my command prompt one, i need to have it use the title. 'cause the title can change....
ok
thanks
