I want to move the dialog boxes to a position on the lower right of the screen.  I found the  dlgposition zip file in the tools section of this site.  However, it indicates you put that in the DLG_INIT: setion of the first box to be displayed, normally the welcome box.  The notes talk about putting this in sdwel.rul.  However, I'm confused:

1.  The SDWEL.RUL on my version 6.3 says do not include in IS 6!

2.  Where is this DLG_INIT: label to be found?  In the rule or in the code somewhere?

I'm using 6.3 Professional.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, in Pro 6 the dialog script source code is not included (it comes in precompiled form)

Thank you.  Any place to find out how we are supposed to interface or write custom dialogs?

On your Pro 6 CD you should also have IS 5.5, which includes dialog sources. In most cases the version 5.5 code works for version 6 with some modifications.
There's also a sample custom dialog in your Pro6 program directory.

Thank you.  I'll check that out.
