Rene,

Try this golden oldie, which I mentioned in an earlier message. I still use an
automatically loaded .SGT file that includes this routine, even though some of
that stuff might be better implemented elsewhere, e.g. rolled into a .U2 frame.
I find this one more convenient loaded onto a key -- have it on ALT-C (for CM,
mnemonically).

1. Define text you want placed on the Command Line.
2. Press [Alt]2 (or whatever key this program is saved to)

NOTICE: This routine uses Save/Get 9 -- it clears whatever is saved
on Save/Get 9 and puts the defined text in its place.
