- John MacLean is frustrated with...
- >EditLine controls [in] a standard file (save) dialog?
-
- Forget it... can't be done... blah blah... :)
-
- Seriously, this has been a problem since the world was new, etc.
- The EditLine never gets actual characters (A..F) because the SF
- list steals them quite flawlessly... You _can_ get numbers though,
- (or could pre-6.0 which was the last time I had it almost working)
- but that's almost useless. Dave can come out with a bunch of real
- reasons why this doesn't work... most notably is the fact that the
- SF stuff still relies heavily on the Dialog Manager while some of
- the neat controls are (really) extended (read 5.0+) controls that
- are handled specially within SF... all SFP stuff still has to fall
- within the Dialog Manager limitations.

- There are two ways to write bug-free code and only the third one works!
