Thanks Dave,
i used gOpenMiaw because i have 3 other MIAWs open from other buttons. This
is to keep reference to which MIAW is to close when the 'close' button is
pressed. I've tried the code you gave me, but still doesnt work. I use 'put
' command to check which MIAW window it's refering to, and it's the right
one. But why is it not able to find the same miaw to 'forget' ?
