Scope Problem on Standalones

[David Burgun]

Hi,

Firstly many thanks to Dave Cragg for telling me about the problems 
with the "answer" command. The documentation for the answer command 
says this:


The prompt is a string (or any expression that evaluates to a 
string). The dialog box expands if necessary to fit the contents.

However, this does not seem to be what happens in real life! In 
reality the promt string is truncated (not sure at what size the 
truncation takes place).

So when I added the answer command to debug the Standalone, they 
would not work, even though the in the IDE the paths were displayed 
correctly. (Because the path strings were shorter in the IDE??? or 
becuase this bug only apprears in a Standalone? Anyone know?)

Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so how do they get around it?

The real problem was my fault, since I hadn't specifed a one of the 
stacks in the Standalone Setting dialog. I would have found this in 
10 minutes if I hadn't been fooled by the answer command not working 
as documented.

Thanks to everyone who helped on this and especially to Dave!

All the Best
Dave
