You might try:

== {GRP}. .

If {GRP} resolves to an empty sting then dot (.) equals dot (.)

Make sense?

Subject: [foxboro] FoxDraw Alias Question

I have developed a graphics library using FoxDraw aliasing but I have an issue 
that I need some help with.
I have 2 alias named {GRP} and {TRD} that the user resolves using the filename 
of the group display {GRP}  or Trend display {TRD} that they want to open when 
the user hits the GROUP or TREND button on the overlay.  The problem is that 
this doesn't work unless I resolve it with something so I use 'NULL' and check 
for 'NULL' in the script i.e.

== {GRP} NULL .....

Is there any script command that can check for 'nothing' rather than having to 
resolve to 'NULL'? Or is there any way to pre-define the alias to 'NULL'?

Thanks in advance,


Richard Coon
