Re: Changing Synthesisers

[Carol Pearson]

Hi Sidney Dennis and all,

It's interesting. The script given to me by Ronald J McEwan does in fact allow me to change to Flextalk on the fly.

I sent that script off last night, before I knew Dennis had one, but don't seem to have seen it.

If it didn't arrive on the list, Dennis you may like to compare scripts.

Let me know.
