    From themadtux@21:1/112 to All on Sunday, June 04, 2017 21:56:42
    Heya everyone... have a quick question. I've got a logon ansi that I'm
    going to be using for my logon and I need to position the username @ 43,18 and password @ 43,19. I've tried to find how to position the prompts where I want them but I'm either overlooking the info in the docs or I'm just blind :)

    So basically how can I position the logon and password in the prompts?

    TIA!

    It takes a little messing around with to get a good feel for the prompts.
    What I would do is go to the prompt editor and change the first one
    '000/527'. Change it to read something like:

    |DFpreuser||CR |[X43|[Y18|09Enter your user name: |XX|IF|01

    By adding the |[X43 sets the X coordinate, and the |[Y18 sets the Y
    coordinate. The same can be done with the password prompt, which is '002/527' on the list of prompts.

    Hope this helps... :)

    that right there did it. I had the X and Y but for whatever reason I left the pipe off and didn't realize it. :)

    Thanks for the help much appreciated!
