    (Sorry for those of you without a symbolics, you'll probably get lots of
    font info in this text.  However, you should not worry about my message: this
    seems only related to clim under genera).

0    I have a function (nanesse-log) that prints various things in a clim
    pane.  That function first inserts the time with (current-time), a
    function I wrote that returns for example "112:0282:048".  With this, I get
    the following error.

    When I replace the call to (current-time) with (current-time 'letters)
    which returns "11h28m48s" (ie no colon), it works.  It seems that the
    colon is not thought of as a string character...

    What do you guys think?  I can provide more code if necessary.

The colon character you are trying to add print is a Genera "fat"
character - it is in the Genera character style (:FIX :ROMAN :NORMAL).
This won't work, since CLIM (intentionally) doesn't know anything about
Genera's "fat" characters.  To see what I mean, position a Zwei cursor
on top of the colon indicated below and type control-shift-J.

    Here is the error:

    3Trap: The first argument to the FAST-ASET-1 instruction, #\2:3, was not a string character,
          and therefore will not fit in the ART-STRING array "11
