Hello,
[Quoted] I am puzzling over this one. I am creating a form which monitors a pipe, and when input is detected, that input is displayed in a block. I would like to send that input to a file as well. The problem is, since Forms has no real global variables, I cannot open the file in one trigger, and use the file handle in another trigger. Has anyone done anything similar to this?

Thanks in advance for any help.
ps. I am using a timer to monitor the pipe and still allow some events to be seen. If the pipe has been busy for over 10 seconds, I exit the timer trigger. The timer expires in another second and brings me back.
