But, considering it takes input, you would need callback functions and a lot of code. You can also use PowerShell to make a GUI input box, and it might allow you to choose where it starts. I can't remember if it does.

Interesting... I had read PowerHell can do GUIs, and you have a lot more control than with traditional vbscript. I wonder what the Linux / Mac equivalent (if one exists) would be?

For now, I just set the _TITLE to display debug values and did a _KEYDOWN for input, which did the job for debugging.

But I will check out the link Petr mentioned and look into doing GUIs with PowerShell. Always good to have more tricks up one's sleeve!

Thanks again, guys!
