Would it be possible to add a "don't take focus" option to the browse() proc? That would make it easier to set up auto-refreshing HTML windows with information for the user, without constantly stealing focus from the input bar.

There's a workaround for this by returning the focus to the map manually (I guess it still works in 4.0's fancy interfaces). Search around.

not perfect (there's a quick flash as windows flips focus back and forth) but seems to work, thanks!

in case anyone else stumbles in here with the same request:
winset(src, "mapwindow.map", "focus=true")

Nope, that little feature stopped working from the release of 4.0.

You can, however return focus to the input control itself in the same way.

Hehe, but I still gave good advice because he found the reformed way to do it by following it. =P If I wanted to find it, I'd go through the same process, but I wasn't interested. >_>
