I don't have time to wait until I get home (aka packrat) to ask this question,
and so I'm posting this message from work:
The "wd commands" subchapter and the "Common Dialog Boxes" chapter in the
"Window Driver" section of the "User Manual" together provide some guidance in
creating dialog boxes: wd 'mb title text'. Lacking specific examples, it took
me some time experimenting to realize that the following was one way of how
this might look in actual practice:
(1) wd 'mb "This is the title" "This is the displayed text"'
Or, if the mb command and its parameters are assigned to, say, str:
(2) str =: 'mb "This is the title" "This is the displayed text"'
wd str
However, I can't seem to figure out (i.e., make it work!) how to incorporate
variable names instead of literal strings into either of the above two
examples. Is this possible, and, if so, how? Thanks!
Harvey
