slider.

Syntax:

	: slider {
          action alignment big_increment fixed_height
          fixed_width height key label layout max_value
          min_value mnemonic small_increment value width
        }

Note : As a slider should be used in conjunction with an edit box, the DCL and
AutoLisp coding for the edit box has been included here.

DCL Coding:

lisp48m : dialog {				//dialog name
          label = "slider" ;			//give it a label

        : edit_box {				//define edit box
         key = "eb1" ;				//give it a name
         label = "Slot &Length (O/All Slot)" ;	//give it a label
         edit_width = 6 ;			//6 characters only
        }					//end edit box

        : slider {				//define slider
        key = "myslider" ;			//give it a name
        max_value = 100;			//upper value
        min_value = 0;				//lower value
        value = "50";				//initial value
        }					//end slider

        ok_cancel ;				//predefined OK/Cancel button

        }					//end dialog
