There are no script commands as such that you can add to a .epx file. That's coming. It really is best to stick with the options available in Manager to edit the properties of a field. Or are you referring to startup options?

It would be good to see an example of what you want to have appear in the Entry screen. You can certainly show the possible values to enter in one or more information elements near to an entry field. Along with the popup for value labels, this could be useful and you can position the information lines so that they are not hidden by the pop up box. If that is what you mean.

I think there will soon be a link to the Epidata wiki, where interested users can start adding documentation to help others.

I'm working with the 1.4.2 Manager version since 1 week. I found some limitations to create a structure for a data base (it's the first one I do). For example, I can't put on a menu with options for every field near to the question visible in the Entry data version. So, I must choose between an up window or an information box, but I can't see both at the same time when the Entry data version ist running.

Moreover, I don't know (or I don't find) how to inscript commands before document, and what are all the possible commands. Cause of this, finally I've began using the raw document (I opened the epx.file in a text processor like Notepad++ or gedit) and work in this way.

But my problem now is that I don't know enough commands to use, and I don't find any internet document containing explanations about Epidata commands for the .epx files (only for old versions with checking mode).
