Thanks for the welcome and for the help. That should help out a fair bit.
So the text type: %T1% enters the data stored in the variable T1.
Is there anyway I could set a limit on it, for example:
the prompt appears;
user types in value;
prompt doesnt appear the next time I use the macro;
after the macro is used ten times it asks for a new value;
Is that possible to do with a macro? or does that go beyond its capabilities?
