Windows 7 Ult.

From an RMD file run from the R> Prompt, a simple dialog for entering
license plate numbers:

--SHOW DIALOG PLATE NUMBER
DIALOG 'Enter a Plate number||>CCCCCCCc;0;_' vmvplateno =8 vendkey 1 +
CAPTION 'Lookup Vehicle by Plate Number' +
OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_NAME Courier New +
|MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 12

1. MESSAGE DISPLAY

Observation: Changing the MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE changes the size of text
'Enter a Plate Number', but NOT the ||formatted input.

Question: There appears to be no OPTION to craft the display of the
||formatted input DISTINCT FROM that of the message portion. Is there a
PROPERTY which might be set before the DIALOG for doing this?


2. INITIAL CURSOR POSITION

Observation: In this simple setup, the user clicks into the input box.
The cursor sets focus at whichever position the click is made, which may
be anywhere in the mask.

Question: Is there a PROPERTY which might be set before the DIALOG
command to force cursor focus to the first position in the mask?

TIA

Bruce
