It's a delimiter, just like you can use "" or '' to separate sections, you can also use ##, _ _ or &&. In this case your first %if statement uses #, so it read %if:#condition#:#then#:#else# The else part was a whole lot of %if's and by omitting the last # you confuse TB where to stop with your %if. It might go alright because there's nothing relevant until the end of the QT, but as a matter of principle you should always try to use a correct syntax. C> What *exactly* does %-? It tells the editor to ignore the newline character immidiately behind it. So the editor translates this: "I'm typing a $- silly text." to "I'm typing a silly text" In this example the %- macro has no real use, but in complex macros or QT's it can enhance the readability by placing separate constructs on a single line in stead of having everything on one single line.

The # part is explained in the 'main macros page' in the help. -- Groetjes, Roelof Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
