Dear Nathan ,

I am preparing a set of scripts for my suggestions about new installer , but
I need your help for DIALOG .

I am using my text editor which is suitable for easy editing and
productivity .
It is inserting a blank character after last non-blank character because
some Unix systems programs are requiring such a structure , but this is
violating DIALOG rules :
I do NOT want to change my editor in that respect , which this will break my
other parameter files . Although a new parameter may be inserted but WHY .
This is a problem of DIALOG . Shell does NOT have such a restriction .

DIALOG is requiring that after last \ ( line continuation symbol ) there
should NOT be any blank character . I spent a whole night to discover that
this is the problem .

Is it possible to supply a DIALOG which will ignore blank characters after \
character .

I am using separate lines for DIALOG parameters for readability of scripts .


Thank you very much .
