Hi Andrew: Sorry for incorrectly assuming you were restoring colours. Also, I am very glad to hear that test_diff_psc is still all right because you ignored colour restoration. Of course, in general we do want to restore colours so some general solution like above is required to avoid screwing up test_diff_psc for that case. Any Tcl expert here want to have a go at implementing that general solution? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
