Hi Kay,

The Answer dialog is a modal window: this means that you can't do anything else than validate an option. In your case, you have to build the window by yourself in order to present options and choices in the *same* window :-)
Not too difficult...
Just study correctly your layout ;-)

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.

Thanks for passing on Jim's function (and thanks to Jim).

I put the function to quick work, but unfortunately I ended up in a worse
situation:-(

I had the parsed data nicely presented in a list field so that I can even click on the link line should I need to investigate further. There is so much info that the field needs both vertical and horizontal scroll bars.

My script runs a repeat loop that reads each line of the log and 'answers' if I want to 'Ignore' or 'More Info' or 'Keep'. If I 'More Info' it puts Jim's function to work then nicely presents it in the list field. The script
then 'answers' again for 'Ignore' or 'Keep'.

The problem is that whilst the answer dialog is present I can't click on a link or even scroll the field, yet I don't want to exit my repeat loop, so that I can navigate the field, because I NEED an 'answer'. I thought it might work if I put the field in it's own substack, or a completely seperate stack, but it doesn't - or at least it doesn't in the IDE; I assume if they
were two seperate standalones the answer dialog wouldn't lock up both
stacks.

As it turns out I found another solution. I've set the systemWindow to true, so now my stack remains on top of everything else. In the end I think this is picking the right tool for the right job; my stack keeps track as it progresses through the log whilst I use 'the clipboard' and my browser to do
all the Net searching.

So thanks anyway for broadening my Rev horizon.
