James, There's one big problem with the Prowrite 3.1 requester. While the program is reading the directory, you can click in the string gadget and type the filename if you already know it. However, when PW finishes reading the directory, it substitutes the first file in the list for whatever you typed. If you've already hit return, PW loads the wrong file. For instance, the first file in my docs:reviews directory (where I point Prowrite by default) is 3DPro. If I type in "flow" as my review name and hit return, BEFORE the directory is finished reading in, it's replaced by 3DPro, which is loaded since I've already hit Return. This is the one thing that bugs me more than anything else about PW. I don't really see much point in always putting the first file in string requester. I see two options: (1) Don't put anything in the gadget until you click on SOME name or type something, or (2) Don't put the first filename in the gadget if the user has already typed something else. That's my biggest want in PW 3.2. Thanks, Denny Atkin, Associate Editor COMPUTE's Amiga Resource
