Jim,

Thanks for the tutorial. I have yet to read through it all yet, but will get to it shortly.

Jim,

I have worked through your tutorial. Very good, Thanks! It reminded me of a lot I'd forgotten about Basic. Funny thing is - for all the years I've deen using DeltaCad - I'd never printed any documentation (!). I've done that now including the Cypress Enable Language Reference...

I've got a sort of solution to the problem you had with the Title above Input Boxes. If you also specify the third parameter [default] (even though you don't need it) your specified title will appear above the input box instead of just "DeltaCad".

Here's a snippet of code to show what I mean:
'dim the text for the input boxes
Dim MyLineTitle, MyLinePrompt, MyLineDefault As String
'now draw a line
MyLineTitle = "Where do you want the line?"
MyLineDefault = "" 'not needed so set empty

MyLinePrompt = "What is xa?"
xa = InputBox(MyLinePrompt, MyLineTitle, MyLineDefault)

Why this should be, I don't know. Bit of a bug perhaps...

Dick.
