I agree that it would be useful, but it's so easy to achieve the same thing using the MessageBox API call that I doubt it is really worth adding:
Code: calldll #user32, "MessageBoxA", _NULL as long, "Alternative icon" as ptr, _
"LB Booster" as ptr, _MB_OK or _MB_ICONSTOP as ulong, ret as long

I would find it nice to have
Code:
produce x$ = White
This would be especially 'nice' when using several 'notice' commands

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Can you give an example?

Something along this?
Code:'notice x$
'produce x$ = White
x$ = "White"
call extraNotice "x$"
sub extraNotice var$
notice var$;"=";eval$(var$)
end sub |

tsh73's example is what I was thinking of.
It would also be 'nice' if we could display both string and numeric items with one 'notice' command - like in the 'print' command.

So I presume his solution is acceptable. There's no point building something in that is so easily achievable with a user-defined sub or function, especially as it would result in an unnecessary incompatibility with LB 4.

Apart from options like tabbing and columnar output (which don't really apply to a MessageBox) you already can:
Code: pi = 4*atn(1)
notice "The value of PI is ";pi
Mixing text and numbers in this way is a standard feature of Liberty BASIC.
