In the lower left corner of my screen there was a readout you could enter distance into when drawing a line I cannot make a picture I lost the display? what did I get turned off by mistake? there were two readouts in this lower corner, how do I get back on, I tried a Co-ordinate search, but did not find my answer.
Sounds like you turned off Accudraw. Probably by selecting “Q”.
You can turn it on by clicking the Accudraw button as shown in the image.
You may want to edit the Accudraw keyins to remove “Q” if you are a regular user of the Task Based keyins.
RJB: If the readout that is missing looks something like this, then Stuart is correct - you've closed the Accudraw dialog.
The icon he showed to toggle Accudraw on and off is in the Primary toolbar. If it is not visible when you open another file, open Settings>Accudraw and check "Auto Load" under the Operation tab.
You could also activate your Running Coordinates on the right hand side of the Microstation window, by right-clicking in that area and selecting Running Coordinates.

I'm always turning accudraw off by mistake. I do this a lot when trying to use Place Line (Q1 or Q2) but the focus is still with accudraw. I have ameded the keyin from Q to QA and all is good.
Actually now I no longer have the X Y, I have I am sure the answer is correct, but I do not know how I lost the X Y, I found the tool bar symbol, I think and clicked it and the above will turn on and off, but will try again. Well tried again and the above turns on and off. I got something messed up, hope someone knows. Perhaps Phil???
