Hi Steve,
Just thinking but not exact code because I don't remember exact syntax.
For that matter I am a novice scripter so don't know the behavior.
If dialog
if Black Gray color
type key for insert+s to echo all on screen.
return
EndIf
EndIF
Or get the value that represents echo all then reset it back to highlight.
The script that uses insert+s is
SetScreenEcho.
Have no idea if this would work or not but good luck Steve.
Ann
