<P>
In this section I will itemize some of the caveats of the dotdotfiles.
<UL><LI> You may not enable an element of an ExtEntry which has been
disabled.<LI> The Dotfile Generator has a function called <tt>pick</tt>, which makes it
easyer for the user to write code, which is of the following form:
<PRE> if {$test == "YES"} {
print "Test was true"
} else {
print "Test was false"
}</PRE>
The <tt>pick</tt> takes three arguments, the first is a truth
expression, the second is a string to return, if the truth value is true,
and the third is a string to return if the string is false. The
example above can be rewritten to the following using the
<tt>pick</tt> function:
<PRE> print "Test was [pick {$test == {YES}} true false]"</PRE>
