hmm - kinda tricky thing  ;D

Best you name it in the name-field.

Take care, that your editor is set to advanced (top right
corner).

I share yer point of view, GI  :P :) It's really hard to find a good name...
for instance, I have got two kids myself, and when I had'a find names for 'em
man, I tell ya, it wuzn't easy!  ::) "how to name them?", I thought... for months.

Then suddenly, my.... hold on, now! There's som'n wrong here?!  :o

Isn't this the "PAPA's DREAM" site  ??? ...the nappy board? ...anyone?!

Have I gone to the wrong place?! Noo, can't be!  :P >:(

------------------

After much cosideration, I come to the following conclusion :

A child is NOT the trigger of ALL accidents in your home; there are
other factors, such as sex with the neighbor, or yer M.I.L's cooking!!!  :o :D ;D

What we really need is a way to NAME them things, coz naming is
half preventing, thats what my granny always said. And thus:

Here's a tiny tutorilla on the whole "naming triggers" issue.  :-* 8) :beat:

---------------

1.  create a car - name it CAR

2. create a trigger - name it CAR_TRIGGER in the name field, not the text field.

3. And now, provided the trigger is activated & covers the car,
    the trigger will add the car to a default array called THISLIST in the editor
     (sort of, actually not, but just lemme confuse ya, lassy)

4. THISLIST equates with "LIST CAR_TRIGGER", but as THISLIST can only be
    used from within the list itself, that is the CAR_TRIGGER's activation field,
    hence the THIS and the LIST ( ::) ;D ) uuum, then ya cannot
   use THISLIST from, say a script or some WP.

5. Now, this is where the NAME_OF_TRIGGER comes in, as you can
   create & use arrays by using the NAME_OF_TRIGGER.

6. Like if I wanna count (check) if CAR is in the trigger to use it as a condition,
   then I can put :

CAR in List CAR_TRIGGER

as my condition  :D in some WP/other trigger/script etc.  :)

(what did I eat today?!)  ::)

And also, you can use it to name radio commands.

hmm - not sure, what you mean here, but if you mean
the name, which would show up at the radio on map,
or when pressing 0/0/radio-call,

then this would be done rather in the text field than in the
name field.
