I need to change the color of some on-screen text to red. I'm using Progress 8.2, character mode, on OpenServer. The display is a terminal emulator (AccuTerm) doing wyse60. "COLOR DISPLAY INPUT" changes the text red, but also underlines it. I can change how AccuTerm displays INPUT text, but...

Since JS doesn't appear to be able to access a local file syetem, is there a workaround that will allow my script to determine if a folder is empty or not? Thanks, David Rock

I have a thread started on Adobe's scripting forum also. Unfortunately, I'm beginning to conclude that there isn't anyone who frequents the forums who has scripted a data merge using InDesign and JS. Adobe support indicated they can't answer scripting questions, even ones to clarify syntax found...

InDesign CS with PageMaker plugin on Windows. Using the JS data merge example from the scripting addendum, I'm able to merge all records into my document. But I don't understand how to only merge a single record. I included the script I'm using below. The addendum indicates I need to use...

Hello, I'm using InDesign CS with the PakeMaker plugin, and have a document set up with merge fields pulling data from a .csv. Can someone show me a JS example of how to trigger a data merge for a particular record, which would create a new merged document? Thank you, David Rock

Thanks TonyGroves - showcolums does what I'm looking for.
