Hello,
I have a program where I want to display the CST menu and then
FREEZE the screen. However, all of the sequences of <<1 MENU ...>>
I'v tried don't display the CST menu until after the
program ends (or until it is waiting for input, I expect). Is there
any way to force the update of the menu? Note that the menu HAS
been changed, i.e. if I press one of the "softkeys" I get the
appropriate CST menu function...

A while back, somebody posted this SYSEVAL to the net to force display of the current menu: # 3A1FCh SYSEVAL This is what you want. Scott. sburke@jarthur.claremont.edu

If you read on, you'll get to page 539, where is explained that -1 WAIT does. No mentioning about SYSEVALS, by the way. :-)

Reading page 539 reveals that -1 WAIT redisplays the menu, suspends execution and waits for a key. #3A1FC SYSEVAL does the same, except it doesn't suspend execution, nor does it wait for a key. :-) -- Jan Brittenson bson@ai.mit.edu
