    Dear All

    (1) Discrepancy between documentation and actuality.

    The following program produces a command log browser without any
    buttons and no scrollbar and the only way I can see it is to
    single-step it with gdb.

    ----------------------------------------
    PROGRAM pls CONTEXT VOID
    USE flmisc,flx,flxbasic,flbasic,standard
    BEGIN
    open(LOC FILE,"",arg channel); #To make argc and argv available#
    fl initialize(argc,argv,"LS",NIL,0);
    fl exe command("ls -l",TRUE);
    fl show command log(fl full border);
    fl finish
    END
    FINISH
    ----------------------------------------
    According to the Xforms manual (page 72), the browser should have both
    "Clear" and "Close" buttons.

    (2) Algol 68 binding.

    As you can see from the above program, I can now write programs in
    Algol 68 which use the Xforms library. The convertor `fd2a68' has not
    yet been written, but will be. I shall be uploading a new version of
    the Algol 68 compiler to my web-site soon (possibly this weekend) (see
    my signature). For those of you who are interested in this powerful
    language, the Debian package contains a 610-page book which teaches the
    language from scratch.

    Regards
