   okay i have a potential solution:   
      
   399, 400, and 401 display the text for each line. (seems to be first display,   
   selected, and unselected)   
      
   you create a .mps file for each: 399.mps, 400.mps, 401.mps   
      
   and change each to: (bar being the actual vertical bar)   
      
   !399 1 2 6 ... whichever of them you use   
      
   and inside 399.mps et al you do something like   
      
   Begin   
     if ACS('X132') then   
       // for this one paramstr(3) would be 6 from above   
       write(paramstr(1)+' ... '+paramstr(2)+' etc.. ')   
     else   
       write(...);   
   end;   
      
   and format it how you want with the correct widths.   
      
   the other option is to copy your entire prompts file and protect the wide one   
   with ACS X132 .. and the other with !X132 or something.
