Hi All,<br><br>I have recently tried to use Phil Armitage's lisp editor ABLE (of course written with Ltk). However on my windows XP desktop, it didn't work very well. It would start up, but when I pressed a key (such as Ctrl-n), it froze. It didn't take any extra resources, it just didn't respond. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I found this tcl/tk bug report:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1779265&group_id=12997&atid=112997" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1779265&group_id=12997&atid=112997</a><br>
<br>Then I (with the help of Phil) figured out a workaround (mostly through sheer luck). I put a call to ltk:do-msg before the user gets a chance to press anything, and to avoid freezing the application, you have to dismiss the message box with a press of enter (clicking OK is not OK). So like it says in the bug report above, it seems that an enter will stop it freezing. Being 'lazy', I don't want to have to customise every single tcl/tk/ltk application I want to run on this computer, so is there a way to include an extra 'enter' or #\Newline in key places in the Ltk code to avoid this happening? They could all use #+win32 because I think it only seems to happen to that type of OS :(.<br>
<br>Anyway, now I'm going to start learning to use ABLE!<br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Jonathan<br>
