Re: Need help creating a loop for a script.
Let me give you an example as to how the while command works. Below is a quick little script to count from 1 to 20. Script MyTest () var int count ;defines the variable used to count the itterations through the loop. let count=1 ;initializes the variable. ; here is where you would do your home up etc. to get to the top of your list. While(count<=20) ;this is the beginning of the loop. SayInteger (count) ;put anything here you want to do repeatedly. let count=count+1 ;very important: increments the counter to avoid a endless loop. EndWhile ; end of loop. EndScript ;end of script.

Re: Need help creating a loop for a script.
You could set a variable to 1 when you move to the top of the screen and use the "while" command to activate every other selection. I wonder, though, how are you going to get the control key held down? Let us know what you come up with. Bob -Original Message- From: K.

Re: Need help creating a loop for a script.
Let count=20 while (count) Let count = count - 1 do the stuff EndWhile -Original Message- From: K.

RE: Need help creating a loop for a script.
use the while or for constructs, described in chapter 7 of the script manual. Cheers, Tim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of K.
