Re: Hiliting text in Ask dialog

[Shari]

Under WIN98, the ask dialog works for me as described in the documentation.
For example:
ask "What's your name" with "Type your name"

The reply is already highlited. When I begin to type, the reply is 
deleted and cursor begins at the first character.
If I double-click a word in the reply, it is selected with highlighting.
If I triple-click anywhere in the entry field, the entire reply is 
selected with highlighting.
Maybe your OS is problematic.

I wonder if it's a hilite color setting somewhere else in the program 
that overrides the Ask dialog's own?

Funny how everything I noticed during development, so did my testers... 

In an Ask dialog... 

- Can't highlight text to replace
- Double-clicking in the beginning of the box doesn't highlight
anything, but if I type, it replaces 1st word. 

This is using the standard Metacard Ask stack. 

My ask handlers are pretty straightforward. 

ask "What's your name" with "Type your name" 

ask "What's your name" with "" 

ask "What's your name"
