For Example:

INPUT({{LAT1,[0]},{LAT1D,{"N","S"}}},"LOCATION INPUT",{"LAT 1","DIR"});
returns
LAT1=0 and
LAT1D={"N","S"}

when you press ok
display on the form is as expected Line 1 is LAT1 and Line 2 is a Choose for N or S

do I have syntax error?

Although I cant do much more my editor keeps crashing and is now gone

I get something similar too.

I've had some success getting this to work for a single dropdown in the input form:

Code:

EXPORT MyApp()
BEGIN
LOCAL UOM;
LOCAL UOM2=0;
LOCAL UOMLIST:={"KNOTS","MPH","KPS"};
INPUT({{UOM,[1],{0,0,0}},
       {UOM2,UOMLIST,{15,85,2}}},
       "Enter Units",
       {"","UOM"});
PRINT();
PRINT(UOM);
PRINT(UOM2);
END;

This gives you the following:

   

Depending on the selection, the first variable in the form is assigned the zero-based index of the selected item from the dropdown:

   

I'm not sure how much more useful this is than CHOOSE. Adding any additional variables to the INPUT form causes the Prime to crash.
