I'll see what I can dig up. Ah, I see what I did wrong. I didn't realise (despite it being mentioned in the documentation) that the <label> that is used for the error id has to be a control sequence unique in name as well as meaning. I've added a new directory to the repository to hold example documents for things like this. I find these sorts of documents quite useful to learn from, and it saves me emailing documents around :) Here's an example that works for me: <http://www.latex-project.org/svnroot/experimental/trunk/examples/l3messages.tex > If you've got any similar example documents on your machine, I'd be more than happy to put them up, too. (It'd be nice to turn it into a real test suite...but I haven't yet done such a thing in TeX before. I've been meaning to look into qstest.sty some time...) Hope this helps, Will
