True. And this makes this way not as nice because the developer would have to set the dbg-level, do an extra LFUN, and then do a grep. If we want others to write tests, we need to make this process more simple. One way would be to have a script that generates a test. All the developer would have to do is pass that script a command-sequence that causes a crash and this script could generate the appropriate test file. This would be easy to write. Scott
