Description

The PRMBAR() function returns the prompt text from a specified bar of a specified popup. The popup is specified in <expC>. The popup must have been defined, but need not be active. The name of the active popup is returned by the POPUP() function. The bar number is specified in <expN>. The number of the last selected bar is returned by the BAR() function. If special characters such as hot keys '\<' and disabled items '\' are included in the prompts, these are removed by the PRMBAR() function. When a popup bar is a separator, '\-', PRMBAR() returns a null string.
