Hello scott,
It sounds like you added an AutoStartEvent when the file already had one!
If you have an existing AutoStartEvent, (found in Step#3), you only need to
add the SetSynth line within that script.
That is why it gave the "Change in documentation file..." message, because
it thought you were replacing the existing AutoStartEvent function.
And because you added the EndFunction after the SetSynth("Eloq") statement,
it gave the "unknown word" error on the next line after that EndFunction
statement. The original, correct EndFunction statement is several lines
further down the function.
Since you do have an existing AutoStartEvent, then do as instructed in
Step#3:
Hit Control+L to bring up a list of existing scripts and functions. You'll
notice the AutoStartEvent up near the top of that list, just arrow down to
that listing and whack Enter.
Now that you are in the function, hit the End key to get to the end of the
line giving the script's header, "function AutoStartEvent()" and hit Enter.
This will place you on a blank line just underneath that header line.
Type in the following statement:
SetSynth("Eloq")
Now, hit Control+S to compile it. If it compiled Ok, and you want the
synthesizer switched back to the original, then add the appropriate SetSynth
statement to the AutoFinishEvent, using the instructions in the
ScriptTip#104.
If it didn't compile, hit Alt+F4 to exit the Script Manager, and select "No"
to the "Save changes..." prompt and start over.
Thanks,
