Hi, Just wanted to note that Midas.midas_text.makeCommand() is changing (it is used to emulate typed commands). It now immediately executes the relevant functionality instead of returning a string that can be exec'ed. So when this change becomes available in the next release, alter your code that uses makeCommand() to just call it directly instead of exec'ing what it returns.
