Sami, Page 332 R:Base 5.0 Reference Manual says: ================= About the RECORD command You can also choose Record a Script from the Utilities menu to record a series of keystrokes. R:Base prompts for a script file name;.... To end recording,use the RECORD OFF command, or choose Stop Recording from the Utilities menu. When recording, entering a tilde (~) signals R:Base to pause and wait for keyboard entry when the script is played back. ================= Is this what you are looking for? ~Claudine :)

So with this "alt-2" the finished text could be: Structural and rigidity analysis of the existing 280' Andrew model 3ST self supporting guyed tower located at Buford (#18), GA.
