Hi: I've submitted this problem to Wolfram. However, they are unable to recreate the problem. So I'm hoping someone in the Linux community with Mathematica might be able to help. If this is inappropriate for this list, I apologize. I'm running SuSe 9.3 with KDE 3.4.1 level a and Mathematica 5.2 (Student Version). I'm trying to use "interactive input" in a Mathematica Notebook. Within a Mathematica Notebook I enter something like the following: x = Input["test"] Mathematica opens a "Kernel Input Dialog Box" with "test" as text above the input area. This is the Mathematica Kernel, not Linux. A png file is attached to this email with a picture of the Dialog box. I am supposed to be able to type in the dialog box and press "OK" button. The content of the input area is supposed to be assigned to variable "x" in the above Mathematica statement. However, I am unable to type anything in the input area. The cursor appears, but I cannot type. If I press the "OK" button, the window flickers and reappears. I have to "abort" the Mathematica command to terminate the window. I don't know enough about this kind of programming to determine if it's a Linux problem or Mathematica problem. I'm hoping someone else has Mathematica on Linux and can either recreate the problem or let me know that it works OK on their system. Any other information is appreciated. Regards, Richard Pace I'm not sure what Mathematica uses for this dialog presentation -------------------------------------------------------
