I think that x windows needs a trace program (analogous to strace) to help debug problems like this. However, since one does not exist I guess every program that uses X is supposed to implement whatever debugging features? Anyways, I think to solve this one you would need to put together a small demonstration of the problem so that other people could try to reproduce your problem. > wd 'set <field>' , <string> fails if <string> > contains spaces. In wd scripts, words with special characters in them need to be quoted.

Note, however, that the form editor is looking for a literal match for special_name=: 3 : 0 It does not use regular expressions. If you have changed the whitespace it will not recognize an existing event handler. It also has some other requirements for the structure of the form's initial wd script. > If anyone knows of a more detailed description of Form Editor, please let me > know. I often try google searches with site:jsoftware.com when I am looking for j documentation. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
