Are you talking about the HUD (Heads Up display) Shows the faces and tris's count. Try DISPLAY and Heads up display. Not sure if that is what you want.

Challenge me and I will try. Because If I should fail, failure also has a prize (Knowledge).

Ok I expect a big thankyou for this.
I remeMber spending days trying to find out how to do this when I was a newbie.
Hold down your spacebar and keep it held down then move your cursor over to the Hotbox Controls and hold down the left mouse button(still keeping the spacebar held)then move down to where it says Window options and then highlight Show Pane Menubars , now let go of the left mouse button and your menu will appear .You can now let go of the spacebar.

Hope this helps ...regards JS.
