- If you use the update command in the init event of a dialog, you will have to use ".timer 1 0 xdialog -l dialog update" as a glitch with XP and themes disabled prevents windows from appearing. The timer corrects this problem.
- When using the space command, the ID WEIGHT W H are in fact the LEFT TOP RIGHT BOTTOM spacings
- Use the value 0 for the fields not used as the command expects them to be filled even though they aren't used.
