Hi there,

Could someone please tell me how to get an integer/real as value from a
'text' window?!
Does there not exist something similar to

NewText: EditText
    (# open:: (# do ( etc .... #);
    #);

What I get now from NewText.contents is of course a text, how can I get
an integer/real
value??

Thanks!!!
Hans
