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.

In wd scripts, words with special characters in them need to be
quoted.  (Try wrapping your field name in double quotes).

I do not understand this issue.  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.

I often try google searches with site:jsoftware.com when I am
looking for j documentation.
