Ike,
You'll have to have a program or eep write a temporary playback file,
maybe with a few up-arrows to start, for that timing issue I was
discussing, and then the spelling of the first letters of the choice you
want.
If you wanted to preselect "Ike", and it was stored in the variable
vNickName, then that would be something like:
SET VAR vPlayString = +
(CHAR(0) + CHAR(72) + CHAR(0) + CHAR(72) + +
.vNickName + CHAR(0) + CHAR(95))
SET VAR vPlayFile = (filename(0))
OUTPUT &vPlayFile
WRITE .VPlayString
OUTPUT SCREEN
SET WALKMENU ON
CHOOSE vPick FROM #VALUES FOR whatever
SET WALKMENU OFF
DELETE &vPlayFile
(Disclaimer: this hasn't been tested, only typed fast off the top of my
head, but with DMB's "Advanced Forms and Reports" open to the page
of keyboard scan codes.)
