Hi! Can anyone tell me what the 'PAL canvas' is all about in Paradox? Is there a particular part of the documentation that will describe it to me? Thanks! Dave Orriss, Sacramento, Ca.

From the PAL User Guide glossary (se also Chapter 13): The screen you see during the playing of a PAL script. When a script begins, the canvas is initialized with the scene present on the Paradox workspace. While the script is being played, the canvas hides the workspace unless the script explicitly calls for the user to view it. RTFM :-) -- Roger D.

Thanks! > The canvas is where you "paint" prompts for user input or display messages to the user. The canvas is lifted and dropped in front of the Paradox workspace which is where table and query images are displayed and worked on. The canvas hides the workspace unless you explicitly tell it not to with the ECHO command. Page 150 of the PAL User's Guide explains the canvas in detail. -- Bill Yock, Weeg Computing Center, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242 byock@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu
