vanaards%t7@uk.ac.man.cs (01/21/91)
I've just spent 1/2 an hour trying to find out why I couldn't drag
data between various applications.
To save system variable space I've been using SETMACRO instead of
SET for various path variables such as :
Font$Path
System$Path
Wimp$Scrap
etc.
I finally managed, by trial and error, to locate the source to my
problems, it has something to do with the expansion of a macro
variable, so to be safe :
DON'T use SETMACRO for application's variables.
