Geoff,
The function you're after is InputBox. You can specify a title and text for
the dialog and it will put whatever the user types into a string (which can
then be used with FindString, naturally)
The ExMessageBox function lets you pop up message boxes with alternate
buttons "yes, no, cancel, continue" etc - so you may want to consider using
that - for instance if your script has searched a few screens, you might
want to the ask the user if they'd like to wait while you perform a more
extensive search.
Hope that's helpful,
Sean.

text.
mighty Scripters. could anyone possibly give me a code example of how I
might make the FindString command, become accepting of external user Input?
like how I could put things in my script so that when the key was hit, it
pops up some user interactive dialog box with an edit field, into which I
could ask them to type their desired string to find, then press enter, and
it would feed that back into the standard FindString function within a
script?
thanks heaps for any suggestions/function names/code examples as to how I
might accomplish this?
the builtin JawsFind function isn't gunna do it for me, because it keeps
wanting to pop up errors if the string cannot be found on one single screen,
and I need my script to ssearch through multiple pages/screens worth, and
for me to be able to then generate my own user seeable error if not found,
presumably using the MessageBox function?
thanks heaps.
