I have updated the simple-minded text-mode dialog package I sent to RDS last week to include checkboxes, radiobuttons, and scrolling listboxes,plus made the calling syntax drop-dead simple. It helps to make those quick and dirty little programs look more impressive to the naive & clueless computer user (aka boss). Pick it up from http://www.mindspring.com/~mountains (dialogs.zip - about 5 k bytes) Regards, Irv

Irv, Good stuff. The input box allows me to type past the box itself, and I can type all the way to the end of the screen, thus generating a "tried to put text off the screen" error.

That's exactly what you tried to do, isn't it? Irv

Hy, Excuse me, but is this a joke? This is so stupid. Why does anyone want to have an error? You'd better make a textbox that scrolls along with the text, like in Windows. Don't you think ? The rest is fine. PQ QC (quistnet at yahoo.com) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

A pretty blue screen would be nice, also. P.S. Rob, can you code this routine in less than 80 megs? Microsoft did. Well, almost. Regards, Irv
