I don't want to start looking for prompts and menu items until its all there. The only method I can think of is to use a delay, but then that slows down the whole process. I'm not too familiar with the VT protocols, but I was wondering if there is some sort of event or property that indicates that state? I'm guessing I'm probably wishing for too much though. Any help is appriciated.

You would know that the "painting" is done after you call Vt.Write. Take a look at the "Telnet Client (External)" for an example.
