A customer would like to issue a R(ead) from a script script and then follow
this with some other command; for example:
WP {RETURN}
R {RETURN}
EM
What happens is that the read executes for the first page but immediately
executes the following command and doesn't wait for the user to complete the
read.
I tried also nesting a second script script with just e read but this does the
same thing.
Is there a way of doing what she wants?
Thanks,
Cb.

The reason this doesn't work is that a script-script supplies all the input
that ALL-IN-1 is looking for; ALL-IN-1 doesn't wait for keyboard input when
executing a script-script. So what happens when you start the "R"ead operation
is that ALL-IN-1 displays the first screen, then it needs some input to know
what to do next. Because you're executing a script-script, ALL-IN-1 looks in
the script for the input, not the keyboard. So it treats the next line in
the script ("EM" in your case) as the action to be performed after displaying
the first screen of the Read.
You could try something like:
.FX XOP OA$_MO_READ
in place of your "R" line. This seems to work for me on V3.mumble
