I think that this is set this way so that when vi.lib is localized to German say, the tip strips will show up with a German name and not an English one. As you say, sometimes captions are verbose and not the best thing to show in a tip, but so often they are the same until the VI gets localized. I expect the default setting work fine except on popup panels when the panel serves as more than an interace to the function and the caption and label may be different lengths. Greg McKaskle
