*************************************

FN_get_value(prompt$)

Fetches a string from the dialogue box in the same manner as FN_get_data(prompt$)
but converts data to a numeric value, and checks for non numeric characters.

"0",".","+","-","E"  are all valid numeric characters.

eg "-3.1E6" will be interpreted as -3100000


Examples:  See Userfiles.Programs.Examples.Rectangle
               Userfiles.Programs.Examples.BoxesSheet
               

*************************************
              
PROC_vector_text_pt(textcol,x,y,ptsize,weight,style,angle,text$)

Used in exactly the same way as the documented PROC_vector_text(  )
but the value of size {ptsize} is in printers points rather than mm.

23rd April 1998

The DrawAid application has been changed to poll every 0.1 seconds
instead of every cycle, most of which returned a null response.
This presents a more cooperative environment to other applications.
