Even subtle details may matter here. Therefore, the above notation has to be corrected. Pranav's example (http://www.geocities.com/pranav_negandhi/freaky_chakra_2.jpg) reads:


-- Welcome to Director --
put value("")
-- <Void>


Smells like BUG to me.


Except that you can't see that the first one is option-space. The message was apparently written a few days ago, but perhaps this is a developing April Fools joke.

Well Colin, your explanation doesn't convince me OR I don't understand it.
Granted I don't really know what option-space might do precisely but I#m pretty sure it would do this in a macish context. ALT-space opens a (mostly useless) system menue on win boxes. And pranav defined his box thusly:


PIII 128 MB
WinNT 4 SP6
Director 8

(I did my tests on athlon TB 800, 768 MB, w2kSp2, d9.0)


When I read your previous post I assumed opt-space would produce a "non breaking space" which is entered as alt-0160 on win. But where to insert it?

In Pranav's notation there are only 2 possible places to insert an &nbsp; (�)

put�value(""):

put value("")
-- <Void> 0

OR

put value("")�:

put value("")
-- 0 <Void>


None of them explains the riddle. I tried another invisible char, hex 0:


z = numtochar(0)
put z
-- ""
put value(z)
-- 0


All the other control chars show a black box, don't they?
So, if you have steps to repro, please expand.
OTOH, if this is a 0104-fake, pranav should say so. It's 0204 in India for half a day, already.
