Conference iamok::dtrdig

    
	I thought I did this right, but maybe I'm missing something easy
    	here.
    
    	The 1st "real" line in the DTR procedure referenced below is a
    	FIND statement which prompts for a part number, but without the
    	ASSIGN command the .COM file flows right through the procedure
    	without prompting for input.  But with the ASSIGN command, the
    	procedure stops at the DTR prompt.
    
    	Thanks for any info.

    Try putting the procedure directly on the command line.
    Seperate multiple commands with ";" if I recall correctly.
