That's usually a _good_ thing, but we don't know what your usage is. If you
could explain that it might help.

IMO setting the rect like that might be a bad idea. Instead, just leave it's
width and height alone, and send it off screen by its loc:

1) ## Remember it's loc:
   global gTfld 
   put the loc of fld n into gTFld

2) ## Send it offstack:
   set the loc of fld n to "-1000,-1000" If its wider than 1500 (hard to
   imagine) then increase the negative numbers

3) ## Call it back:
   global gTfld
   set the loc of fld n to gTFld

HTH,
