The string/text fields would allow modification of existing text and choice of insert/overtype modes. The numeric and scalar fields would check for entry of legal values (i.e. digits and decimal point) with each key stroke (as opposed to verifying legality after pressing ). Any recommendations for code that implements these kind of routines well and is available via anonymous ftp? Thanks. -- ----- Don Thomson ----- MACC, 1210 W.
