I am trying to write an alias that requires a custom color to be selected from a pop-up dialogue box. This is to select a custom color in the Mask menu.

^;^F0^F0^S7^220^$^F5^F2^S7^???^$^S0^S0^

Thanks

I couldn't get a pause to work to allow a selection from the color palette dialog box. Could you use implied selection since the color would have to be on the screen any way to change it? Added ^S8^F5 to clear any previous masks, not sure if that's something you would want.

I will give this a try.

It might be fairly easy for Dave to add "color number" to the Mask menu as it is in the main color menu???
