Bill,

For your edification:


  MONOLOGUE (Short Name: MON)

  Use the MONOLOGUE command to seek input from a user when you do not
  really care what user has to say.

  Options

  'message'
  Specifies what you want the user to hear.

  ||format
  Also known as EditMask.  Not operational, since any response from the
  user will be ignored.

  endkey
  Doesn't matter what you put here.  Any key will work.

  lines
  Go ahead.  Amuse yourself.

  PASSWORD
  Displays the dialog box entry as asterisks.  Not only the default, the
  only way it works.  Why would you want the user to see their input
  anyway?  And you certainly don't care about it ...

  YES
  Creates a Yes/Yes dialog box and sets the default response to Yes.
 
  CAPTION 'message'
  Specifies the text of the  message to display in the monologue box
  caption.  Defaults to 'Understand this, Buster!'

  ICON name
    name
     - LISTENUP
     - PAYATTENTION
     - NOWHEARTHIS
     - WHAZZAMADDAU

  OPTION parameters
  You don't need no steenken parameters.
