In the meantime, here's a workaround: Code: alias activewid { var %i = 1 while $window($active,%i).wid { var %w = @ $+ $v1, %c = $window(%w).sbcolor window -g1 %w if !$window(%w).sbcolor { return $mid(%w,2) } window -g $+ $calc($findtok(message highlight event,%c,32)) %w inc %i } } /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com

(I have added this to my library of functions, even tho i dont currently have a use, better than trying to remember it later) First use of a 6.17 addition i have seen, and solves the problem of $activewid with very little code being executed. Not that you asked for it, but i cant really think of a use for $lactivewid, im sure there would be one, but i cant think of it.

Code: on :active::{ if ($lactive) { window -n $+(@,$lactivewid) } mdi -t } My current workaround ... Code: on :active::{ if ($lactive) { scid $lactivecid window -n $qt($lactive) scid $activecid } mdi -t } What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?
