Bob types: Talk Alice and presses enter
Actually, no. That wouldn't be what I want to do. I want a user able to type "TALK UserName" and have the same subfile open on both people's screen. The called person would be interrupted, and would either continue the chat or F3 the window closed. The requirement is that both screens have the same subfile, exactly.

Ahh, what you need then is a break message handling program, not the funky
program that reads/writes screens to more than one machine. If specified,
this program runs whenever a message comes in. You can decide how to
format it, what to do with it and so on. What is real nice is that you can
prompt a response from the user, and TALK it back to the sender.
CHGMSGQ MSGQ(FOO)
PGM(MYLIB/MYPGM)
Take a look at the help on the PGM prompt and it will tell you what parms
get passed in.
It's been a long while, but my old one prefaced each message with a
constant, like 'TALK', and then handled those, but just did a DSPMSG on any
others. _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
