Hi David and Cliff,

David asked me about the example in VBScript, here it is:

EnableScript("vbscript");
<%
Dim Input
Input = InputBox("Enter a number")
AFL("pds")=Input
%>

Cliff asked about JScript equivalent - and the answer is that
JScript does not offer these directly but only through Shell object:

EnableScript("jscript");
<%
Shell = new ActiveXObject("Wscript.Shell");
Shell.Popup( "Popup test", 0, "AmiBroker" ); 
%>

But this is NOT the point. 
As I already wrote there is one problem
with asking for user input in AFL formulas: the message box will be displayed 
as many times as the formula is evaluated - 
this means 1000+ times when you scan thru whole exchange.

So the only resonable place to use above features is Commentary window.

I wrote also that I will implement the other way of asking for
user's input that will not have this annoying behaviour.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
