Hi folks out there,

I hope this is the right board for a question on programming LOTUS 123 R3.
(As I am both new to LOTUS and to the net, please accept my appologies
if it isn't and give me a hint!)

What I am trying to do is to automatically respond to a prompt by 
using a cell. Example: While a macro is running, LOTUS prompts 
for, say, the range of a graph to be plotted. The desired range
is contained in cell A:A1 as a label (such as 'A:B1..A:B10).
LOTUS says something like 'Enter x-axis range:'. At that point I
would like to use some function to transfere the label from 
cell A:A1 to the input field.
 
The @@(...) function described in the manual would fit perfectly
for this purpose, but it looks as if the @functions don't work
on inputlines but only in cells.

Thanks in advance for even the *slightest* hint, even if it
says something like "This is the wrong board for that sort of 
question, stupid".
