Sounds like a bad connection error.
To control visibility we use a Boolean global variable which is made up of
DMNAME and the suffix _TAGS, i.e. MYDM01_TAGS
We then link $DMNAME_TAGS to the visibility of tags on foxview graphics.
The global variables are created for each display manager on the box at
start up by a script using the /opt/fox/bin/tools/omcrt -b MYDM01_TAGS (that
sounds familiar!).  A button is used to toggle $DMNAME_TAGS

There were some rules about naming your global variables.  I think a prefix
will not work. Only a suffix will work.  I can't test it at the moment as I
don't have a real job.
