[GiDlist] Tcl problem win2000

[Mark Smith]

Win2000 GiD 6.3.0b

Hi Gid team
Thanks for your help with the InitWindow problem it solved the problem.
I have another problem with the exec command in a problemtype.tcl file, I
want to launch notepad with a file preloaded so I can edit some data.

exec notepad.exe $Flle &

This works OK under win98 (academic) but I get the error as shown in the
attached gif when run under win2000
It works strangely if I just do: exec notepad.exe $Flle i.e. if I move the
notepad window it leaves a copy in the old position & if I continue to move
& drop I get multiple copies which don't disappear until I close the notepad
window?

I get the same error if I omit the filename but retain the ampersand (just
launch notepad in the background) Both work fine if I run them from a wish
window running Tcl/Tk 8.4.3 ?

Is there a fix?
Thanks again
mark
