Bonsoir Éric,

Thanks to your function, I get the comma delimited list ;
  but only if I  <put FilledLines(fld "TheTable") into  
tFilledLines> ; Actually if I <put FilledLines(the long name of fld  
"TheTable>, this long name is put into tTable in the function instead  
of its content !
Still a problem with "do" :-)) ?
Well, I am keeping the short name and the function works perfectly ;  
thanks again.


I got another problem with my table fields : I am trying to master  
the table limits in them. I set xLimit (2) and yLimit (10) and tried  
to use the rawKeyDown handler from your tutorial.

Seems it does not work for me : I mean, the conditon <if "revCell" is  
in the target> seems to be not true in my table field ;
If I state after it, "beep 4" : beep does not occur ;
If I state <put "revCell" is in the target>, nothing appears in the  
message box.

I suppose I am doing something wrong, or not doing something I should  
do ?

Best regards from Grenoble
André
