Sorry, I'm not following you. The full source code is below and it "works" as it is. http://plea.se/me/shoes/kumlatemp/ If I change: timer(1) do draw_thermometer end to: draw_thermometer or: start do draw_thermometer end No thermometer is drawn on application start even though the start event is fired. Then after waiting the full five minutes it is drawn by the: every(300) do draw_thermometer end Still unclear? -- /J > On Sat, Jul 26, 2008 at 4:28 PM, Jonas Elfström <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Were this problem totally uncomprehensible?
