Hello Again,
I am having some trouble with string gadgets.  How can I modify their
contents after they have been initialized?  The Prop gadget has a
ModifyProp() function, but there is corresponding function for string
gadgets.  I was just changing them, but I get an odd symptom which I
(perhaps incorrectly) attribute to this.  The cursor doesn't always go
away after I press return in a string gadget.  The gadget returns the
value to the IDCMP and becomes inactive, but the cursor just stays
there.  Any ideas?

Another requestor question: I set the REQSET flag in the window but
never received that message when I opened my requestor (I want to auto
activate a string gadget when it appears, I used ActivateGadget()
[after checking that I had v1.2] but the gadget does not activate, so
I thought perhaps I needed to delay a bit -- thus I tried the flag).

                                        Thanks for any help,
