Programming oddity

[Patricia M Godfrey pmgodfrey@xxxxxxxx]

Attempting to expedite the resetting of color defaults on my various
system, I thought to write a routine that would display the values of
each setting. It seemed straightforward enough, but I'm getting some odd
results.

I did it in stages, then cut-and-pasted the pieces together. And
something went haywire.
Here's the first routine:
XPLeNCODE v2.0
b-gin [UNTITLED]

kground is {<}PV04{>}[cr|lf]Created by parsel0.pgm[cr|lf]
-nd
XPLeNCODE

And here's the file it produces:
Values in L0, Action Bar:
	Items are 113
	Highlighted items are 71
	Accelerator character is 116
	Background is 121

And here's the second:
XPLeNCODE v2.0

m[cr|lf]
-nd
XPLeNCODE

And here's the file it produces:

	Items are 113
	Highlighted items are 71
	Accelerator character is 116
	Background is
Values in L1, Command Line Colors:
	Current path is 113
	Typed text is 31
	Wild cards are 78
	Function calls are 29

What happened to the fourth value of L0 in the second iteration? I cannot
find any difference in the code, but PV04 produces a result the first
time and nothing the second. Curioser and curioser.
