Steve,

lnValue = 1
do shortmenu with "A", "B", @lnValue
? lnValue

in shortmenu:
lparameter pcParamter1, pcParameter2, rnParameter3

rnParameter3 = rnParameter3 + 1

FWIW I use r to indicate reference parameters and p for parameters passed by value, I think it helps to indicate those things that can be cahnged by the function.

>I have a shortcut menu that call from a form. In the setup of the shortcut menu I have LPARAMETER cParameter1, cParameter2, nValue1 and in the calling function I passed the following: DO shortmnu WITH 'A', 'B', 1
>
>When the shortcut menu launch I pressed one of the prompt option and inside the procedure of this prompt I have change the nValue to a 2.
>
>How could I pass back the nValue = 2 to the calling function?
