Hi
I'm finding that a WriteVal inside a if-statement doesn't get displayed 
whereas one outside does ...

The following doesn't make much sense but does show the effect:

 PlotChannel = ParamToggle("Channel", "No,Yes", 0);
 Channel = 2 * ATR(10);
 printf("Channel Width #1: "); WriteVal(Channel , 1.4);

  if (PlotChannel) {
    printf("Channel Width #2: "); WriteVal(Channel , 1.4);
    printf("Channel Width #3: ");
       printf(WriteVal(Channel , 1.4)); printf("\n");
  }

Produces:
===============================
Channel Width #1: 0.0188
Channel Width #2: Channel Width #3: 0.0188
================================
/There's no value printed for Case #2!/

I remember somewhere that /WriteVal /is actually a synonym for /NumToStr 
/so it sort of makes sense that you have to actually print it, but this 
is an obvious inconsistency from a user's point of view. Logically, 
there's no reason why having WriteVal inside the IF statement should 
prevent the value being displayed (as long as the condition is true of 
course :-).

Tomasz - How about a warning message that no output will be displayed 
(or better still make it so the value is displayed)?

I couldn't find any documentation on how %f,  %g (what is a "g"?) and %e 
are used ...

How does one do the equivalent of the C/C++:

 printf("Close is %s\n", WriteVal(Close, 1.4));

eg print a message, a value and a newline in one statement in AFL?

With printf and %f, are you supposed to specify the whole field width 
and then the decimal places (eg "%8.4f") or does the printf in AFL use 
the format specifiers like the 1.4 in WriteVal?

A couple of trivial examples would be really appreciated ...

Thanks
Giovanni
