Actually, the original Chessmaster for the Amiga had a menu choice "In case the boss wanders by" that would display a fake spreadsheet--also, I remember a few old DOS games had hotkeys that would instantly exit the program and run a batch file. [-X

As for SolidWorks, I tried copying a long thread to see if I could disguise it as a note on an E-sized sheet, however, that much text made the program chug, plus I was unable to format it so that every paragraph didn't run on as a single line. Also, every time I clicked on the note, it activated the first hyperlink. I'll bet you could write a macro, though, to disguise a thread as a large BOM. :wink:
