I have constructed a Requester with several string gadgets. Right now, if the user wishes to enter data into all of the gadgets, he must click the first gadget, enter text, <ret>, move mouse to next gadget, click, etc. What I would like is for the next gadget in the list to be activated automatically when the user is finished with the previous. (I believe Textcraft uses this technique). Is there any way to do this? Thanks, Brian Russ UC San Diego ...!sdcsvax!bruss Brian Russ EE&CS Department UC San Diego ...!sdcsvax!bruss

You'd probably have to write some dump programs so you will know what the messages look like, and it's probably not trivial, but it doesn't seem ridiculously difficult. -- Kenneth Chiu UUCP: princeton!chiu Princeton University Computer Science Department BITNET: 6031801@PUCC
