I don't know if you've read my most recent message. The statement
which causes the problem is fl_refresh_selector. I also noticed today
that the double click on a file will not cause the selector to return the
file name. I have to click on the button.

I'll try that tomorrow, but highly doubt that it due to an old version.

No messages. Compiler and linker are both happy.

I put the libforms.so and libforms.a in /lib/. The forms.h is in
/usr/include/.
It behaves exactly the same at work, which was installed from Zentropix
1.0 real time which is Red Hat 5.2, and at home which runs on
Mandrake 7.1. The one at home is only about a month old. I'm positive
there are no strays in my home computer.
I've got both xform versions on both machines and can switch the
links between 0.88 and 0.89. It's definitely is linked to 0.89.

I'll see if I can find an example which uses fl_refresh_fselector.
I guess I was just wondering is anybody else has used
fl_refresh_selector with version 0.89 without problems. Have you
tried it?
I found my font problem. I had to move the fl_set_default_font
after the fl_initialize. (I don't recall the exact commands used.)
The 0.89 works great with vnc, which was the reason for making the
change. I'm dealing with people that want to remotely monitor my
system with NT. I'm going to have to put an ad on my app.
I appreciate the help, Steve.
Thanks,
Keith Tang
