Paul:
Interesting task. I haven't tried this but how about:
label top
CHOOSE vText from #values for (Lastname + ',' & Firstname ) from ListOfNames
IF vText = '[Esc]' THEN
GOTO ENDBLK
ENDIF
Print Reportname where whatever
-- Set the playback value
set var vplay text = (sget(.vText,1,1))
out Play.ply
write .vplay continue
out term
playback Play.ply
GOTO TOP
LABEL ENDBLK
RETURN
The continue on the write statement suppresses the carriage return, which could
complete the selection and frustrate the selection attempts - plus make an endless
loop.
