I'm starting a DIALOG command with a default value already in the
variable used by the DIALOG.
The appearance is that the cursor is positioned at the beginning of
the value in the DIALOG's
input edit.
I would prefer the value to be already selected so that anything the
user enters replaces what's
there already. I cannot find anything in the OPTIONS documentation
to pre-select the value display.
Anyone know if this is possible.
