I have never messed with the tracking window so far (not playing scouts) but maybe there is even some /keep_window_visible_on_tracking command (this one here is completely made up, you'd have to find the real one if there is one).
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried the line break as such:

<Button LocalTooltip="Start Tracking" Location="0,137" Name="Track" OnPress="parent.parent.Parent.OkButton.Press=&apos;true&apos;
show_window MainHUD.Tracking
" PackLocation="fff,fff" PackLocationProp="0001/0001,0001/0001" ScrollExtent="18,18" Size="18,18" Style="settings.style" Tooltip="Start Tracking" UserMovable="true"></Button>

and

<Button LocalTooltip="Start Tracking" Location="0,137" Name="Track" OnPress="parent.parent.Parent.OkButton.Press=&apos;true&apos;
show_window=(MainHUD.Tracking)
" PackLocation="fff,fff" PackLocationProp="0001/0001,0001/0001" ScrollExtent="18,18" Size="18,18" Style="settings.style" Tooltip="Start Tracking" UserMovable="true"></Button>

I also tried to double up the show_window command by adding a second one on another line but that didn't work either.

I'm not all together certain of the correct syntax so I pretty much tried every variation of the command that I could think of without any luck.

I can say without much doubt that with the command the window seemingly appears to re-display for a split second but doesn't remain and it doesn't include a list of names either. This doesn't happen without the command, meaning that the window closes without any hesitation what so ever. So it would appear that somethings happening, just not what I'm trying to have happen though.

As far as the OnHide suggestion, I would love to try anything that would work but you could have been speaking Greek and I would have understood it just about the same. I really am a noob at this.

Searching for another command falls into the same category. I understand what you mean but wouldn't have a clue how to go about it.

O'well. Try as I might I just can't seem to grasp this one. Maybe I should just stick to more simple edits and put this on the back burner for now.

Thanks again to everyone for all of the suggestions and insight.
