Several responces has been posted to the above. It can be done via extensions to the spooler (a translation filter for standardized commands in your output) or via codes stored in the database (or in separate files) that you print regularly in your report. > ALso, I have been trying to figure out how to make the cursor > within an input array a whole bar rather than a single cursor... > anyone???? This is relatively easily done via display statements put into the input array statement at appropriate places. You display with attribute normal and reverse (or another appropriate set). You'l have to do some testing as to exactly where to put this in. I don't have it handy right now. The main problem is handling what happens if the user hits the page up/page down keys. We test explisitly for these (via fgl_lastkey/fgl_keyval) to do the appropriat displays to remove the "cursor".
