Thank you Dave.
The light finally went on.
Looping to invoke the "DISPLAY" without a panel name allows the user to
update as many fields as necessary (with no scrollable area repositioning)
until they hit END (or CANCEL).
IBM is looking into the fact that "DOWN FRED" leaves "FRED" on the command
line and the cursor is not repositioned to the start of the line.

Dan, no worries. You can't do that in dialog test 7.2. You have to use 7.1
and launch your driver rexx or program. As I previously mentioned display
the panel with a panel name and then drop into a display loop without the
panel name. The link I sent you wrt panel reinitialization has a flow chart
which explains in detail the flow. Also check the manuals for the REFRESH
panel function which you will probably need in the )reinit section.

Dave,
I'm trying to understand what you're explaining.
If you have this simple "scrollable area" panel and display it via "dialog
test" (7.2) how can you get it to NOT relocate to the top of the
scrollable area?
Do you believe there's something you can do in the )INIT/)REINIT sections?
Thanks, I appreciate your patience.
