I'de like to use a SetMenu ..
but want the display of previouse saved values to show , and not wait till after
a selection is made before it updates them.

code:

LoadVar $NoPlanet
LoadVar $Product
LoadVar $PlanGood
IF ($Procuct = "0")
SetVar $Product "EQ"
End
Gosub :MenuTime
:GoingIn
Echo "*All Done"
Halt
:MenuTime
AddMenu "" "Show" $ver. "." "" "Main" FALSE
AddMenu "Show" "GO" "GO!" "G" :GoingIn "" TRUE
AddMenu "Show" "MainProduct" "Monitor Port Product " "M" roduct "" FALSE
OpenMenu "Show"
roduct
SetVar $Product "EQ"
SaveVar $Product
Gosub :sub_SetMenu
OpenMenu "Show"
:sub_SetMenu
SetMenuValue "MainProduct" $Product
Return


I dont really want to fill in menu if I can get it to recognize the value
.. so they display right out but just in case I need to change them I see them.

Any ideas ?
or should I just make a standard echo style menu ?

I can't help you with SetMenu stuff cause I try really hard to avoid using them. Having said that, I'd suggest using 'Echo' Menu's.. they're a pain in the butt to make, but you have soo much more control. And of course they're prettier

I'm prolly wrong/missunderstood you; but couldnt you save the variable to a file and then reload the file when the script load's to input your correct variable setting so it's not allways defaulting to your standard setvar.
