Hello Larry,

What error message do you mean specifically?  Are you using Security-IFC-A
ith ECSW?  Would you try the following event lines?

If      Security-sensor-a       is now      not responding
then    Log-security            set         Security-sensor-a

where Security-sensor-A is a wireless transmitter and Log-security is a
log file (create in item editor).  Then display (F7) the log-file after a
few hours.

Thanks!   Dan Dubay
