Re: MIA, Ask an Expert: interactive text box

[LCSI <alain@xxxxxxx>]

Hi!

Ho! I see the problem.  Your text box is called LOG1 (or LOG2...).   
So, the dynamic primitives (based on the text box name) are:
SETLOG1
and
LOG1

So when you say
SETLOG
this corresponds to nothing.

You need to run something like SETLOG1

There are two solutions:
run se (word "settext 1) (word "" "bar)
That works, but it's awful Replace RUN by SHOW to visualize what's  
going on.
Or, simpler:
tto word "setlog :n
ct pr answer

There you go! Yo seem to know what you're doing! Congrats!
