    Can someone please remind me of the command for hatch which brings up the dialogue box - I hate the new one where it's all command entry based. Thanks

    Please use plain text.

    Hi,

     

    look to sysvar HPDLGMODE (details >>>here<<<)

     

    And as a help how you can find sysvars like that (you already know that there is one) you could use the command setvar:

    SETVAR<ENTER>

    ?<ENTER>

    *DLG*<ENTER>

     

    So if you search for something with "dialog" ==> use *DLG* or *DIA*

    if you search something for plot ==> try *PLOT* or *PLT*

    ....you'll get a list of (a few) variables containig the searchchars and then look into the help for details.
