We call the ijx window an execution window, not a session log. In the early days, we argued about this, and are much in favour of the current style, rather than a real session log. This has also been discussed in the forum from time to time, for example, do a search on session log in the archives. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
