that dirty dog last night.  Is UnitList a TStrings 
object?

It 
does seem that it is assigned whenever it hits your function but I cannot find 
the declaration for it...Is UnitList loosing scope perhaps?

    I am having a major problem
     
    If you examine editor.pp please notice the 
    function OPENFILE.  In it I create a TMemo object and access some of 
    it's properties.  Notice how I declare a fmeditor variable and assign 
    that to UnitList[Activefile];  Unitlist is an array of FORMS that 
    contain Memo's so in this case it's the Form that you want the memo 
    on.  Problem is I CAN'T USE SELF!  If I try to put Self in the 
    TMemo.Create(self) function the memo never displays because SELF is not 
    being set right (something's wrong with it).
     
    Another example is where I set the caption 
    of the form (a few lines lower in the same procedure).  Notice that I 
    use fmeditor.caption := texts instead of simply saying Caption:= 
    Texts.  If I simply use Caption, then the caption is never set.  
    When I use fmeditor it's set.
     
    Another example:  If I create the Memo1 component in 
    the fmEditor.Create procedure, and try to do a Memo.Show in the OpenFile 
    procedure, crashola....it tanks.  It's simply can't find the Memo.show 
    function because it seems like it's treated as a local variable in the 
    Create, or because Self is being sent wrong, perhaps that's causing the 
    problem.  Notice, the function OPENFILE is a callback called when you 
    press the OK button in a OpenFileDialog box (in dialogs.pp) so is this 
    causing the problem?
     
    I really would appreciate someone looking at this.  
    I'm starting to believe it's a compiler problem but that's only because I 
    also starting to run out of other things to blame.  i am not using the 
    latest snapshot but I am using fpc 0.99.11 version I pulled a while 
    back.
     
    Please let me know if anyone has any 
    questions.
