Basically I want the equivalent of the pascal readln or perl $input =
<STDIN>; from within a textbox.
the Text() method does allow me to gain access to the information entered
but does not tell me whether the information
was committed to by the user. I don't want to use a button if I can get
away with it.
any ideas?

Uh-oh ... that's a tricky one as far as I remember. Never did it myself, I
only have dialogs where the user triggers something with a button anyway. If
you want to capture the enter key, I'm afraid you have to go with those very
much not trivial accelerators. There has been a recent posting about them,
if that doesn't help you, you should go back to the list and post a
follow-up question.
