Hi Thomas, What &:: means? I did not find it out in manual.

Hi UGNX, the :: mean it's a global variable in the namespace, it's reduce the Tcl-coding by using global mom_xxx in the header of each procedure. It's more simple for me but basically both approaches have the same result. I am pretty sure you now what $ in connection with a Tcl-variable mean ;)...and $:: just means read the global variable
