nearly, very nearly.  The enclosed work fine! I really shouldn't type
scripts past midnight after beer ;-)

I noticed that too, this is a bug which will be fixed in the next build.
It's not truly case sensitive, it is just that he variable name in the
GetVar statement must be lower case whatever the case of the variable name.

This is in fact absolutely correct, assuming it had sub main() and end
sub around it. What is stopping this being displayed is the minimum
length set for that label.was larger than the "xxx"  so nothing
was
displayed.  The reason for using the minimum lengths to to keep the
display looking nice when it has no data.  It the weather example  in
the utc field it is set to "    @ **utc**"  which without the
minimum
length would just display a @ at startup as **utc** would be empty

the script error file gets written and lines appended whenever an error
occurs just a little debugging helper

Hope all this helps
