Jerrell, I'm playing with an idea of using two "books" running together. To link them I was going to use the AREXX ports. It says in the docs that Helm automatically creates different port names (Helm.1,Helm2 etc), giving the impression this was possible. The problem is when I try to load a second "book", which uses the same Helm main program icon assign, it errors with a "can't open screen". Do I need to have two Helm programs on file and assigned differently somehow to make the above idea work? I see an additional command called "entries" in the update docs. Would it be possible to give me an example and/or full syntax to get string data from a scrolling textfield selector? Your docs weren't exactly clear on this. Thanks for your time, again <g>.
