Chris, thanks for your response(s). I am writing a routine that does automated testing. In using it, the user needs to be able to enter some variable name which will be set equal to some initial value he sets. Sometimes that variable name is a global root (and normally he'd choose a temp global for the test like ^TMP($J, or ^UTILITY($J, ). So two of the input fields are GLOBAL NAME (where he inputs the root), and INPUT VALUE (which somehow indicates the value(s) to be loaded into that global for the test).
Similarly, I have two more fields for RESULT VARIABLE, and RESULT VALUE, so that the user can check whether the results are as expected after whatever he's testing runs. Again, RESULT VARIABLE may be a global root.
Anyhow, I'm not letting the user change the global by hand as you thought, I just want to let him input the darned name. I have the field defined as a node all by itself, E1-250 instead of a piece number so that the ^ won't cause errors, and it still won't let me include a ^ in the input.
Thanks,
Michael Reach
