Don, I went one step further. I have replaced the system Auto-Requestor and
its gadgets and string gadgets with my own which allows you to cursor around
string gadgets in the order you link them, and also allows you to cursor over
to a gadget of your choosing (An Image Structure) and it will be outlined when
you are there. Pressing RETURN will toggle the status of the gadget. Then you
can either press ESC or cursor to the CABCEL (CANCEL) gadget or the ACCEPT
gadget and press RETURN.
Oh yes, this all works with the mouse also – You can, if you really want to,
click with the mouse, position the cursor with the mouse, etc/
There are also abilities to do data checking (Dates, $$, etc) and
pre-formatting on input (Dates will always come out 87/05/05, etc).
It was a lot of fun, made our program 100% more useful, fulfilled our promise
of being Keyboard driven if you want, and made the code smaller in the
meantime. A lot less String Gadgets, etc to worry about.

Bri,
Sounds great…can't wait to get a look at it as I think that should
certainly be an adequate compromise between those who like the mouse and those
who find it a bother.
