re: Accepting values and commands

    I tried the CLIM 1.1 bug fix for the dialog problem, but see no difference.  I
    compiled and loaded the code then called the following general popup window
    routine.  The values are still reset to their defaults when previous values are
    changed.  Ideas?

Look what you are passing as the default to the three calls to ACCEPT
(indicated with arrows).  Each time through the dialog, you are calling
ACCEPT with the same (or no) default.  You need to update the default to
the new value, and use that as the default.
