Hello to all of the programmers out there. I need some help and once again welcome any and all help on this subject. Even if it is just look at the source to a file called ******* on FF???. Infact this is mostly what I would like. Now what I need. I need to be able to enter some strings from a window that I have created. I have tried String gadgets but they are just not what I need. I need to be able to enter two string but have not been able to do it. I have the source to a few editors that floated around awhile ago. But I have not been able to straighten them out enough. What I have come up with is that I need to use the Console.Device and attach some read and write ports to the window. I did this and it lets me move the cursor around (read some code from one of the editors lets me do this!! :-) but none of the keys typed comes up on the screen. Any help from any one at any level would be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance, Joshua SLMT9@cc.usu.edu

Not so -- you have to read via CMD_READ, massage & interpret that data, and write text via CMD_WRITE based on what you have read. As an example, try writing a little test program which writes (CMD_WRITE) every character received via CMD_READ.
