I tried somethings, and I found the error...somehow with copy paste
a"space" before the 2422 was inserted, and this caused the
problem...without it, I have now the new feature...thanks! If somebody
is interested, I created a small bitmap to set the lx200 time...its in
the file section of this group :-)
cheers
Alex
