Dear XOTcl-guys!
I tried to upgrade from Tcl8.4+XOTcl1.5.3 (all my projects worked fine
here!) to Tcl8.5b1, but my projects won't run due to some XOTcl
problems.
The following snippet is extracted from my project and I tested it with
XOTcl1.5.5 (from WinTclTk) and XOTcl1.5.6 from ActiveState-Teacup.
But both failed with the same error message.
My guess: Non-positional Arguments don't work!
