Hello,

It is expected (at least I expect) the named structure to be retained
from session to session. When I start-up a new session,
I can do as you describe, HELP, {temp}, /Str and get output of all of the
fields. The pointers are all null-pointers and the
other fields are as I defined them in the Temp__Define procedure.

I think you are describing a different behavior and I'm not clear on what
the behavior is. As an example, it sounds like you might have defined a
string field in the temp__DEFINE procedure as Temp.Name = ''. Later
you did something like oTemp->SetProperty, Name = 'PAVEL'. Then you
quit (or reset). Doing the Help, {Temp},Str shows Temp.Name =
'PAVEL'. Am I getting that right?
