  If this is in Windows, the system controls the start up directory with a
weird algorithm.

  But I think you can get what you want by just removing the "directory"
attribute from the next calls.

  No. It will be when the IupScintilla control becames ready.

  No. You can add the numbers to the text or you can add another control to
do that and handle the CARET_CB callback of the multiline.

  No.


 BTW, if your questions involve only IUP issues, although using IupLua, I
suggest you to send e-mail only to iup@tecgraf.puc-rio.br to avoid
increasing even more the traffic in the Lua list. Ok? Thanks.
