Using a plugin
I've R'dTFM but I still don't know how to do this. I'm using RevMedia, if that matters. I've downloaded Rinaldi's auto-save plugin and want to use it in a particular stack. Where should I put it/load it (so that it will be always available with that stack if it moves to another machine)? How do I invoke it so that it's invisible? If it's invisible, how do I set the interval? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
