I wish to write text to the dialog window and at present am painfully using the dp_$msg_set_value routine ( setting up the string array is quite painful ). DM: Is it possible to include the icons in the next-window cycle (perhaps some key assignment to shift-next-window) ? I find it depressing to have to search for a mouse under all my paper(less office), and using the cursor keys takes forever. Any assistance either mailed to me or to the group would be most gratefully accepted. Adv-Thanks-ance, Ashley Aitken.
