Hmm, right. So the base cause of the issue is that we are still within *the same db_go*. That's what I missed when reading your previous mail. I was assuming that <go back> would break out of the db_go but I see now that was a wrong assumption. > So, I thought of two different ways to fix this: > * Change user-setup-ask to show the error messages with their own > db_go, which could be inserted right below the relevant db_input.

If you add to that "within a single db_go" then that does indeed make sense. A different implementation (if possible) could be to remove an "error" question from the queue right after it has been displayed. That would mean no special handling is needed when rewinding. > In the hope to made myself clear enough, Yes, thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
