<QUOTE>Hi,



Was this in actual code or in the Help files? If the Help files it is normally used when a single line of code has been typed over 2 lines in your manual.

<QUOTE>In an event handler? The person is probably using a shorthand notation that is slightly deprecated as it does not work in normal Basic+.



Essentially



.ControlName-]Property=Value



is identical to 



Call Set_Property(@Window.ControlName, Property, Value)



and Value=.ControlName-]Value



is identical to 



Value=Get_Property(@Window.ControlName, Property)



Variants include



Window.Control instead of .Control if you wish to be explicit about the window, and @Variable in place of .Control if you wish to use a variable in place of a literal. So to set the TEXT property of @Window you would use



@@Window-]Text=String"
