I would think that its the wrong place to put it because:
dialog test {
title "New Project"
size -1 -1 114 72
option dbu
edit "", 1, 29 21 50 10, hide disable group result
button "hide", 2, 37 39 37 12
}
after the 10 on the edit line is the options. So to get the dialog to recognize it, just use an "invisible" edit box or something to store what you want, then when you want to view make a command to grab it out of the invisible box
Thats my take on it.
Cheers,
Jay
