- Well, I thought that the "update" about the 4th last line in the procedure
- would have been sufficient, but I tried putting another "update" as you
- stated but to no avail:no message appeared.
-
- I still think it's something simple I've missed 'cause I modelled this proc
- after the mkDialog.tcl available in the .../library/demos directory.
-
- Anyone else got any ideas?
-
- Thanks,
- Norm.
