RE: command definition

Sure you can. I do it all the time. It is accomplished by the PMTCTL
keyword, although, I don't remember if it prevents showing possible entries
when the F9 is hit. It may take a while to cut one of my commands up to use
as an example, but I'll post it tomorrow, if someone else doesn't post
first.

I doubt one can accomplish what you want in a command.  Perhaps a command
processing program will help?  I would do this using an HLL and a display
file just to make it simpler, not to mention far more flexible.  After all,
can you guarantee the number of categories will always be five or less? ;)

Good luck.

I'd like to create a command that requires user to enter one of 5 special
values (categories), i.e.:
<clip>
Based on the category selected, additional required parameters would be
displayed underneath the first parameter, i.e.:
<clip>
Ideally, I would not like other parameters to show even if F9 was hit.

Is it possible to do this in a single command source?  How would you go
about it?
