I don't know a perfect solution. The thing we used in one of our WAKEUP based appls is -as far as I remember- is using NOREAD and prompting the user after the first interrupt. So, the end-user's first input is lost, that is: he presses enter, and then we display another CMS Window panel where he can enter a command or hit some PF-key.

I can handle the CMD = ' ' if I could get it. WAKEUP has to work differently or I need to be able to set a default character ie 'blank' not 'null' for the enter key. Or if someone has a pipe routine that is a WAKEUP 'replacement' ...??? Thanks for the suggestion though.

I use this in a search and you get a second chance to input if a blank is entered. DOn't know how vm will react though. IF CMD = ' ' THEN DO SAY 'COMMAND PASSED IS NULL ... PLEASE INPUT COMMAND' PULL CMD IF CMD = ' ' THEN DO SAY 'BYE BYE' Mace __________________________________________________________________ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed VSE-List messages and set aside VM-List for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! http://www.ellaforspam.com
