Re: Hex Key in PC5250 CAw95

Vernon,
in an simple view, VB Scripts ate supported into macros. into the help
text for macros are a link to http://www.microsoft.com/vbscript for
understanding vbscript.

in fact this works:
Dim HexCode
HexCode = InputBox("Hex Code:") 

but i don't have the time for testing it and the other 1537 items i'm
interested in... at least only for be able to key in hex codes. <g>
