Hi All, How does one import a straight ASCII datafile into NextDeveloper/ Demo/DRAW's draw file (graphic+text) ? I have designed a customer form which contains many different fields such as work order number, customer name, date etc... This graphic form is designed using the DRAW utility on my Next machine. I would like to prompt the user for inputs for these fields using a shell script. After all the inputs are entered, I would like to print these values onto that DRAW form in their corresponding slots on the form. Each work order will be stored as a fixed length record which will be later retrieved, querried, and edited by the user. Is it possible? Is there an easy way to implement something like this? Is there any commercial package out in the market that will do this on Next? Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Tony
