Nobody else dann Mr. Zwanzger can know if the interface or Jonny (via interface) claimed the draw. I don't know if Jonny can be run in another interface, but the operator of Jonny startet with the package Jonny+GUI and so either part can claim the draw. i.e. I could decide to not program threefold repetition into my engine because I know the GUI knows about it. Which is perfectly valid, if I always use the same interface. regards Andy
