You may want to try: y=Input["Dialog box text here"]; for numeric input or z=InputString["Dialog box text here"]; for alphanumeric input. This can then be printed or manipulated by simply calling the variable (y or z in this case). ________________________________ Paul Hoke A107 Research Complex Engineering Michigan State University East Lansing MI 48824 Hokepaul at egr.msu.edu Office 517.353.9952 Lab 517.353.6434 Fax 517.353.7179 -----Original Message----- From: Sortech Limited <sortech.limited at virgin.net> To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg18849] [mg18836] Dialog boxes >I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to go about creating a >Dialog Box for inputting several parameter values used in my notebooks.
