In section 24.1 of their "Programming the User Interface" manual, Symbolics says that when a user-defined handler for a margin choice box is called, the special variable self is bound to the window. I'm placing (declare (special self)) within my handler function, but when I attempt to reference self within my handler, it turns out that the value of self is nil. Is this bogus documentation, or is there something I should be doing differently? Right now I have everything working using a hacked version of tv:choose-variable-values, but I'd like to know whether or not it's possible to do things the official, documented way. -- "When you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow." -- a member of the Nixon administration Matthew Belmonte ARPA: <belmonte@rocky.cs.cornell.edu> <belmonte@svax.cs.cornell.edu> BITNET: <d25y@cornella> <d25y@crnlvax5> UUCP: ..!decvax!duke!duknbsr!mkb
