Hallo,

since nobody replies ... It is not really clear to me, why your program
fragment hits a "precondition violated trap 22", to be honest, I don't
have any idea what this precondition means:
        focus.context.ThisModel() = c.ThisModel()

But: you could give Martin Fishers Output a try. Iit is available from
CPC (see http://zinnamturm.eu/downloadsOS.htm#Output) and it appears to
me that it should provide what you are trying to solve ...

regards
