I may be asking too much of the dialog box commands but:
I would like to present the user with 6 boxes/spinners and ask them to
put in the proportion of cases falling into each of 6 groups.
obviously the contents have to add to 100
1/ Is there some way to do mathematical operations on the input controls and
check that they add to 100 as part of some iaction?
or better yet have the 6th box (not set by the user) change to reflect
changes in the other 5?
(It seemed like this might be possible via the spinner onchange(iaction) but
I got stuck).
2/ the results have to be presented to a program as an option.
the optionarg command says that it is an easy way to add
single argument options.
What about multiple argument options?
e.g. I want: groups(10 30 30 10 10 10)
if I give each SPINNER control the option name "groups"
then I get separate options group(10) group(30) etc using
the optionarg command
I can build it up w. 6 put commands but that seems cumbersome
