   Thanks!   
      
    BP> 1. Would be possible to add a function in MPL similar to the IsNumber   
    BP> function i n FreePascal?   
      
   function isNumber (s: string) : boolean;   
   begin   
     isNumber := str2int(s) > 0 or s = '0';   
   end;   
      
    BP> 2. Not sure about how possible this is, but could a text box, such as   
    BP> the vertic al, horizontal, etc, be used to ask a user a question and   
    BP> have them type in a re sponse? Such as:

   Yes you can use the box MCI code to drop a box and then use the input to get   
   the input.  Or display an ANSI to draw the box, whatever you'd like and the   
   use input to get the input.  Or you could use any of the box/input classes to   
   draw form-like things using MPL.  There are lots of ways to do it.   
      
   There is an example of one way (although it might be overkill for what you   
   just asked) in testinput.mps that comes with Mystic.
