Ask Dialog

Hi Joe,

>"Joe" is selected. Is there a way to have the cursor flash after "Joe" and
>not have "Joe" selected?

Not that I know of...and not that it's any of my business, but what 
effect are you trying to achieve?

If the user is Joe, he clicks on "OK" and "Joe" is returned in 
it.  If the user's name starts with anything other than "Joe", the 
first three characters must be deleted if the selection point is 
after the name, whereas the first keystroke of the name replaces all 
three characters when "Joe" is selected.


>Also how do I change the rev icon to a warning icon or no icon?

First, when I use your line,

          ask "What's your name?" with "Joe"

,I get no icon on v2.6.1 & Win XP.

Ask syntax is:

         ask [iconType] question [with defaultResponse] [with title 
titleText] [as sheet]

with iconType being "information", "question", "warning", "error", or 
empty for no icon.

; so you would script--

         ask question "What's your name?" with "Joe"
