It's good to see Razzak's reply - there are quite a lot of instances where a customisable dialog box would be an advantage: Up/Down, Left/Right, Backwards/Forwards, etc.
Another advantage for our multi-lingual friends of the "Choose ... #List" that I didn't make clear is that you can construct multi-lingual menus simply by combining the choices if you want: Choose ... #List 'Oui/Ja/Yes,Non/Nein/No' Just be careful what you use for your internal delimiter - the forward slash in my example - in case R:Base misinterprets it. Regards, Alastair. -----Original Message----- The nice thing about CHOOSE...#LIST is that you can create menus without using a file. On a citrix server over the internet, things just pop up instead of taking several seconds. I always write my temporary file to the C: drive which is my local machine when on citrix. Using #LIST lets me eliminate some of the traffic. Actually easier than creating a popup menu too. --Dennis McGrath -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alastair Burr Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 5:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Another quick way is to use the new(ish): choose #list 'yes,maybe,no' Regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.
