Hi Peter,
I couldn't replicate this bug on my machine, neither with
dir8.5.1 nor with dir mx, and neither with win xp nor with win 98.
some thoughts:
- maybe something is screwed with the font that is used? you
could check if you get the same result when you change
Thomas W.J.C. McCrystal
In general, brackets for indexes/chunking, parens for functions.
However, with the castlib keyword, it's a bit screwy, so other
references get screwy as well:
put castLib(Internal)
-- (castLib 1)
put castLib[1] -- you'd expect this to work
-- Void
put
Troy Rollins:
trace member(1,1).name
John Mathis:
put member(1,1).name
Per-Erik Bergman:
put(member(1, castlib(1)).name)
Thanks folks, lingo-l is my favorite mailing list and I always find it ever
