Hi Kenny, hi all: I do have a text widget which is created using mk-text-widget: (mk-text-widget :id :receive-window :state 'disabled :md-value (c?n "...") :height 10 :width 80 :borderwidth 2 :relief 'sunken :pady 5)) No matter what I do (even setting :state to 'enabled) I do get anything printed in the text widget. I actually execute a setf on md-value of the text widget: (setf (md-value (fm-other :receive-window)) data) Any idea? Thx! Best wishes Frank
