Hello John
your form work ok for the command like EDIT ALL.....etc.
but don't work for the other useful command like LIST, SHOW VAR... because, I
thilk, the screen are not in that moment a valid output device.
Then I take YOUR IDEA and the Adrian Hussey IDEA to do a little program (see
below):
1) The output of command are directed to a TXT file
2) If the commands are like EDIT ALL.... etc.....the TXT file is empty
3) If the commands are like LIST, SHOW VAR... etc....the TXT file contain the
command result.
4) The program test the lenght of the TXT files and if lenght is > 1 then
....LAUNCH filename.TXT that call the window notepad.
And 'voilà' you can see the result of your LIST command.
5) If the lenght of TXT file is = 1 (empty) the program goto start

DROP TABLE RUNOUT
CREATE TABLE RUNOUT THEFIRST TEXT 10,THESECOND TEXT 6,THETIRD INTEGER

CLEAR VAR COMMANDSTRING ; SET VAR COMMANDSTRING TEXT
EDIT USING COMMANDR
IF COMMANDSTRING FAILS OR COMMANDSTRING='END' THEN
GOTO THEEND

OUTPUT SCREEN
LOAD RUNOUT FROM RUNOUT.DAT ; FILL
CLEAR VAR LENGHT ; SET VAR LENGHT INTEGER
SET VAR LENGHT=THETIRD IN RUNOUT
--test the lenght of txt file
IF LENGHT > 1 THEN
LAUNCH RUNOUT.TXT
GOTO START
ELSE

Larry, yes when you are ready I would like to see what you have done. I have
used my R> Emulator for quite a while to support my compiled vertical
applications. Many times I have thought about enhancing it but other projects
take priority. There are not enough hours in a day.

It also has a command line that works like the R>. You can type a command
such as EDIT ALL FROM INVOICE and it will perform the command. The R> is a
simple custom EEP property.

John -- I have a similar form which also displays the command results (like
LIST) in an output console and has built in user-specific history across
sessions. I'm still tinkering with a couple of things but I'd be happy to
share.
