hey qwerty sorry dude, everytime i go on expanding this code i screw up.

what im now doing is:

var %wf = dll $+(", dlls/WindowFx.dll, "), %Chan = $Mid($Dname, 5), %Dec = $!decode( $encode(%Chan,m) ,m)

then i do:

dll dlls/windowfx.dll SetPadding %Dec > 28 list
dll dlls/windowfx.dll SetChild %Dec > $Dname

which works fine.

but on the INIT of the dialog i do this

stats %Dec

alias stats {
echo -a $$1
}

which echos $decode(

it should echo the channel :S
