How do I feed info (eg., command and directory name) automatically (ie.,
from another program) to a make window? (Right now I have no problem
getting my application to open up a SN make window, but I have not been
able to change the command and directory listed in the window).
Thanks.

I managed to answer my own question on this one. In case anyone else wants
to do this, here's how - put the following somewhere in your .sn/rc.tcl
file to have the make window execute "cat $MyFileName":
set appname [winfo name .]
send $appname {set make [sn_make]; $make.make setmakecommand "cat
$MyFileName"; $make.make ExecMake}
Note that "sn_make.make" seems to fail - whereas $make.make succeeds when
$make is sn_make - I'm not sure why... If someone can tell me why, I'd be
grateful!

The sn_make command will return a unique window name.
The Window name is also the name of the Itcl object,
so that is why you call a method via [$window setmakecommand]
and at the same time are able to run [winfo exists $window]
or other Tk window commands with the name of the window.
Some good reading on this subject can be found here:

I have upgraded to SN 5.0 (on linux), and now am having trouble executing
commands from the make window. I have been getting the following error:
the Directory "" cannot be created.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Celia McInnis

I'll assume that you are running external makefiles or build system.

This is a minor bug which isn't setting any default directory
for the Build Directory (actually, they all seems to have problems
with there default settings).
You can get around this by make sure that the "Build Targets"
combobox is set to "<External Makefile>", then you can enter
the directory which you wish to execute the build command in.
Ian,
