Hi (again)
I need a LISP function that ask the user for a string.
`read-string' is a compiled Lisp function
-- loaded from "/u1/rpluim/xemacs-20/lisp/minibuf.elc"
(read-string PROMPT &optional INITIAL-CONTENTS HISTORY DEFAULT-VALUE)
Documentation:
Return a string from the minibuffer, prompting with string PROMPT.
If non-nil, optional second arg INITIAL-CONTENTS is a string to insert
in the minibuffer before reading.
Third arg HISTORY, if non-nil, specifies a history list.
Fourth arg DEFAULT-VALUE is the default value. If non-nil, it is used
for history command, and as the value to return if the user enters the
empty string.
I can get a yes and no popup box, but I can't find out how to get
a popup
box that asks for a string.
Ah, that's a different question. I don't know the answer to this one.
Where should I adress such questions ?
I think comp.emacs.xemacs reaches a wider audience, but if it concerns
(possibly) missing functionality xemacs-beta probably isn't a bad
place to ask.
