Bought an Aquos TV w/ RS-232 control port. I'm looking for programming ideas for PH to enter channels. RS-232 port wants (only accepts) whole channel numbers. So I stuck a chicklet on the front and tried my RedRat. RedRat too slow TV doesn't like it. I'm trying to think up a way to script (probably blind) collecting the whole channel number (could be 5 - 6 characters) then send it through the RS-232. Any ideas?

Is there such a thing as a pop-up dialog box in PH?

a ph_msgbox displays a message (basically an output), I was thinking more along the lines of a dialog box that returned a string typed by the user. . .

With a lot more work: ph_openiewindow
There may be something more that can be done with Windows Script, but I'm not familiar enough with that environment.

Thanks for the idea. . .
Assuming I wrote the HTML and used JS to capture a user entered string, I'm still not clear how I could get that info back into PH.

There is an "Input Box" command available from within a macro. The [INPUTRET] system var can be preset with a default value. In the Send Keys field you specifiy the message to be displayed by the input box. After the user types in the appropriate response, the answer is available in the [INPUTRET] var.
Dave.
