Hi Peter,
Welcome to Revolution. Sorry you're having so many problems. Reminds me
when I first starting trying to integreate VB scripts with the Visual
InterDev and not knowing what I was doing, got very upset...
Of the many issues you complain about, some are part of learning how to
use Rev.
Dan Said,
I agree, Frank. The key seems to lie in finding a way to
essentially create the OSA (Open Scripting Architecture) as a
Rev framework, no small task to be sure but one that perhaps
the famous MonsieurX is up to?
Extending Rev to support this would allow this to be used
Peter,
I've mentioned a million times and as usual future complains dont seem to be
an issue ;) The script editor, although rather simple, is not so bad once
you get used to avoiding its traps. But it's much better than it previously
was...
I made a much superior editor to the old MetaCard

I've been using RunRev on and off for about a year now. I must say
this I kind of agree with you about the Script Editor. However I
really don't see it as that big an issue if you just follow the

One of the things I'm trying to figure out is whether it is possible

Is is just a simple matter of using the domenu command or do I need

As Richard suggested, you should contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] and see if

Another serious bug to look out for is the 'breakpoints' bug. If you
