<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dave,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Actually, I received a mail-delivery-failure
message the first time, so it's odd that you received it.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Perhaps the GrADS instructions are simply
lacking, but it says nothing about an enter button and there is no visible
button; just enter or return, per first instruction--</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">"</font><font size=3>The string
input by the user is returned when the Enter/Return key is pressed. Null
text entries are accepted."</font>
<br><font size=3>Further down, it says, "The cursor must be inside
the dialog box to allow text entry or editing to occur." I do put
my mouse cursor and click within the entry box (in fact, on top of the
"editable" characters) but to no avail.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Perhaps someone else out there has the answer. Thanks
anyway!</font>
<br><font size=3>Steve </font>

<br><font size=2><tt>Both of your messages were broadcast to GRADSUSR today.
No need to<br>
re-send. GRADSUSR is set up oddly. You don't get echoes of
your own<br>
messages, leading to angst among new posters. There is supposed to
be a<br>
way to enable echoes, but it didn't work for me.<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>I will have to leave the real answer about Dialog
to those more<br>
familiar. I am curious though. You did not say what happens
when you<br>
mouse over and click on the Enter button in the dialog box. (Does
such<br>
a button even exist?) Also, with some softwares, not Grads necessarily,<br>
your mouse cursor must be on top of the dialog box or even the data<br>
entry box to correctly enable keyboard input. Perhaps worth a try.<br>
