Hi,
for some reason, my last message apparently didn't get through the network so here it is again:

Hi everyone,
still working on my Maximus Clone. Thanks for the help on the message areas. Now I need help with my file areas ;).
Problem is that FILE_LIST will display files corresponding to the command spec. If I use GETFILESPEC, it gives a prompt (something like Filespec: [ENTER for *.*] or something like that) and I don't want any prompt. If I use CMDSTR, it won't append the .* or it won't become *.* if the user hits cr. Is there a way to change the command string in order to append the .* ? Or is there a function like that list files but uses a variable for the specs like FILE_LIST varstr ? Is there a way to avoid the prompt to appear using GETFILESPEC ?

If anyone could help, I would really appreciate,
Thanks,
Keplini

Why not just do:

set str "*.*"
file_list

(Just like in exec/default.src)
