Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The Prompt function displays the Text Argument dialog box where you
     can enter a text argument. You can use this function interactively,
     but because it is mainly useful in macros, it is not assigned to a
     key by default. You usually use Lasttext or Arg to directly enter a
     text argument.
 
     Prompt («prompt»)
          Displays the Text Argument dialog box without a title.
          See: Lasttext
 
     Arg Prompt («arg» «prompt»)
          Uses the text of the current line from the cursor to the end
          of the line as the title.
 
     Arg <textarg> Prompt («arg» <textarg> «prompt»)
          Uses <textarg> as the title.
 
     Arg <boxarg> │ <linearg> │ <streamarg> Prompt
     («arg» <boxarg> │ <linearg> │ <streamarg> «prompt»)
          Uses the selected text as the title. If the selection spans
          more than one line, the title is the first line of the
          selected text.
 
     Returns
 
     True:  Textarg entered; the user chose the OK button.
     False: The dialog box was canceled.
