To all Actor users:
I want to start an Actor e-mail newsletter, which I guess
I'll post to this group.  I would like people to send me
1 to 3 page letters of hints about using Actor.  For example,
I'm writing a nethack-like adventure game, and I'll talk about
how to redraw screens where every character could be a different
color, in an efficient way.  I'll also talk about how to use
the WRT with actor, since I got it with TPW.  If you have some
words of wisdom, here's a place to pass them on...


and to Bill Dyer in particular:

|> Dialog1 := new(DialogDesign);
|> addItem(Dialog1, newDefButton(DlgItem, "OK", IDOK, 50@50, 32@16, 0));
|> addItem(Dialog1, newDefButton(DlgItem, "Cancel", IDOK, 50@70, 32@16, 0));

You should only have one 'Def' button, and that becomes the default.
The others should just be newButton or something...

One warning about Dynamic Dialogs:  If you have too
many controls, it won't work (I forget whether it crashed or
what).  But above a dozen controls, (your milage may vary),
you should go with resource file dialog boxes.
I remember a thread on Compu$erve about this a while ago.
