Hiliting text in Ask dialog

[miscdas at boxfrog.com]

Under WIN98, the ask dialog works for me as described in the documentation. 

For example: 

ask "What's your name" with "Type your name" 


The reply is already highlited. When I begin to type, the reply is deleted 
and cursor begins at the first character. 

If I double-click a word in the reply, it is selected with highlighting. 

If I triple-click anywhere in the entry field, the entire reply is selected 
with highlighting. 

Maybe your OS is problematic.

Funny how everything I noticed during development, so did my testers... 

In an Ask dialog... 

 - Can't highlight text to replace
 - Double-clicking in the beginning of the box doesn't highlight
anything, but if I type, it replaces 1st word. 

This is using the standard Metacard Ask stack. 

My ask handlers are pretty straightforward. 

ask "What's your name" with "Type your name" 

ask "What's your name" with "" 

ask "What's your name"
