I wonder if it is getting filled in later, after you commit it with a Save.  Did you check the global after the save?  This is one of my concerns with Screenman.  It is too hard to avoid creating a fat screen with lots of business rules repeated in the screen's logic and in the save logic, in order to make the screen reflect what the save will do.

Kevin, when you created the Sort template, did you enter some From and To
values?  When you do, FileMan should ask you if you want the template user
to be asked those questions again when the template is used.  Answering yes
will engage that action whenever you use the template.

I like the roll and scroll version because it automatically fills in the
DIC{DIP} field.  I think there's a bug in the screen version of the option
editor 'cause it's not getting filled in automatically when the template
name is entered.

Thurman,

Thanks.  I notice that you did not put in any values
for the "Start with Values" and the "Go to values".  I
had to take them out of my first try to get it to
work.  But now I have to press enter to the question:
START WITH: FIRST//

I can't ever seem to get that fileman question START
WITH to work for me.

If I wanted to supply a value there, what could I use?

Thanks
Kevin

here goes. 

I use the screen based editor almost exclusively
(Print, Edit, ScreenMan,
Menu's, you name it). It is a great time saver.

I've never heard of or used the "Screen-Based
      
Option Editor".  Here's what
    
the Option file has for the option I'm familiar
      
with to edit options:
    
NAME: XUEDITOPT                         MENU TEXT:

NO
    
  E ACTION PRESENT: YES                 X ACTION
      
PRESENT: YES
    
 DESCRIPTION:   This option is used to create the
      
building blocks of
    
 the menu system: the options. Each option should
      
have an internal
    
 name, menu text, a  description and a type. 
      
Depending on its type,
    
 other fields are filled in.
  EXIT ACTION: K DLAYGO D KICK^XQ7      ENTRY
      
ACTION: S DLAYGO=19
    
  DIC {DIC}: DIC(19,                    DIC(0):

And here's what the dialog looks like when I use
      
the option:
    
Select OPTION to edit: XYZ
