How to make a program run as a non-blocking command?

thewill2live

Hey Guys,

 So I wrote a Skill program that spits back the XY coordinates in a text box for a symbol that is clicked on so that it can be easily copied and pasted (rather than highlighting it in the show_info box). What I need now is for this program I wrote to be able to be called in the middle of say a MOVE command without killing off the currently running command. How would I go about doing that?

 

 *Bonus point: Is there a way to paste the info from a skill variable (say "foo") to the Allegro command line buffer so that it appears as in the command line as "Command> foo"

 

Thanks for any help you can give me.
