- You can't put a field in a palette with those tools. You need something
- more advanced (such as Heizer Software's $149 WindowScript) or a shareware
- XCMD I've seen called ShowDialog v1.6, ⌐ Jay Hodgdon, Ignatz Software.
- WindowScript is much, much more flexible and powerful, but it's also more
- expensive.
-
- I know a demo of WindowScript exists, but I can't find it on the net
- anywhere. I also cannot find Jay Hodgdon's "ShowDialog." Perhaps it came
- from America Online. If you've got a friend there...
