how to get a list fleld whithout any hilitedLine (before user chooses one)

[André.Bisseret]

Hi Phil,
Among a lot of things, I think I tried "put empty into the  
hilitedLines of fld "theField" which did not work

Now, thanks to you, I show the field first and then I "set the  
hilitedLines of fld "theField" to empty
and it works nicely !
Thanks a lot, Phil, I am far more confortable now :-) and I can run  
forward :-))

all the best
André
