This mailing list doesn't support attachments, and I don't consider it
apppropriate to post in-line either due to length.  I could email you
a copy, but I don't think what I use is exactly what you are looking
for.

>From your other post, it sounds like you want the ability for the user
to scroll forward or back for a number of months/years.  As
implemented, my program won't do this -- it just shows a 12 month
period ending with the next month.  By enlarging the 2000-byte return
parameter to the maximum (undocumented) 10,240 byte limit, you could
get about 5 years.

But if you really want a window with no limits and the abililty for
the operator to key a month and/or year, you can do that too.  Just
have the choice program open its own display file and handle the user
navigation.  Unfortunately, when they select a date you can't return
that directly to the command prompter, as I complained in another
post.

Let me know if you need a copy of how I did the 12-month calendar
display.
