The problem is that I want display_warning() to return a value depending on the user's selection. How do I get display_warning() to wait until a selection has been made before returning?. display_warning() also needs to know which selection has been made and indicate this in the return. Is there a simple way to due this? thanks much - jc John Clyne (clyne@ncar.ucar.edu) c/o National Center for Atmospheric Research P.O.
