Hi Chip and others:
Thanks for all your help with the radio buttons.
My SetOptions dialog in my ProofReading script is working now except
for one problem.
When the dialog loads, Wineyes.set becomes the active set file.
Therefore, when I change my proofreading settings from within the
dialog, they are changed in Wineyes.set, but not in the application I
am working with.
Is there any way to fix this, other than resetting the scope to Global?
