Thanks, Stuart. As I mentioned, the name of the menu bar doesn't show up in the Menu Manager window. However, your advice about the command-line worked like a charm. Exactly what was needed! -Gareth Jones >To display an existing menu group in the Menu Manage Window, click the >"Edit" button o

Re: changing a menu

To display an existing menu group in the Menu Manage Window, click the "Edit" button on the MM Window and then select the desired menu group from the "Edit Existing Menu Bar" window that appears. I found this a little confusing at first myself--I was expecting maybe a "View" or "Select" button.

RE: Best way to launch other applications

Ritch, See the "Running a batch file in DOS" for tips in using the shell to launch. I'm certainly not an expert, but then info in that thread might be helpful. But, as far as I know, "launch doc with app" and "open process app doc" are the only two ways known to me. Happy hunting, Jerry Daniel

Re: Best way to launch other applications

Ritch, You can use either "open process" or "shell()". Shell is useful when you want Rev to stop in mid-stream and wait until the program is finished. For example: on mouseUp set the hideConsoleWindows to true get shell("C:\myfile.pdf") answer "Thank you!" end mouseUp This will launch the

[TIP] Converting strings to hexadecimal

like me, you may be needing to converting simple strings into hex.. after much research online looking for code to do such said conversion, i came across a simple function in metatalk "binaryEncode".. it didn't help, but it's counterpart "binaryDecode" did.. the equal sign "=" in hex is 3D, so th
