Bill, and all, You will find that the CTK adds a # character to the variable names that you assign to a token. If you type in #LENGTH it becomes ##LENGTH. To verify this, after running your macro via the CTK panel, go to "Macro - Variables" from the menu and see if there is a #LENGTH listed. Variables displayed here normally do not show the # character. When you assign a variable to CTK token only type in the variable name, i.e. "LENGTH".

I successfully created a panel with variables that came up in the user menu as described. However, when I select GO up come the normal macro prompts regardless of whether or not I've entered values into the boxes. Any suggestions. For instance #LENGTH as a variable, should I enter in the variable box as LENGTH or #LENGTH?
