I suppose this is a bug. You can use: if word 2 of the clickLine is empty then answer "Please, click on a word on the line!" or something similar. -- ------------- Actually, I would consider this a 'feature'. It used to be that clicking outside the text (i.e. in the margins) returned empty, and clicking in whitespace returned char a to a-1...now it looks like if you click on text, it gives you the info, if you click on anything that is not text, its empty. Makes the logic easier than having to determine if the click was in the margin or in the text. Use the clickCharChunk/clickchar function to get the char number/char the user actually clicked on (in case you do want to know if they clicked on a tab, etc). -ml -- Mark J.
