I think this would be a "bad" practice, Marcus, because the SpecUI would then
be interfered with...the presumption being that it deals with the "rectangle"
parameters in its own way, based on those that are used by the Gen part. I
could be wrong, but we've always been cautioned with attempting to interfere
with UI specific stuff. From your question, however, I have to ask why the
regular WINDOW response (return) wouldn't be good enough for the purpose you
mention.
