Well, yeah, but that's not got anything to do with the message window. That's a separate thing altogether, and I doubt that it writes the message window to the output file. Or maybe it does. I haven't used it for so long, since it was originally useless. >I sent a request a while back to wish-director for a real debugging Xtra, >some way we can wrap the debugger into special debug release programs to >help beta testing.

I'd like to have some sort of prioritizable trace. The trace you get right now is so loaded with stuff it's effectively useless. Sometimes I'll write my own trace functions, but that's time consuming. Or at least some kind of post-mortem "where-was-I-when-I-died" sort of function would have saved me a ton-o-trouble over the years. - Tab [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
