Joe Andre,
I understand your point, although I wonder how many of these MBAs
will ever read that kind of book, and how many of them will follow
any of the advices it contains, because they're completely brain-locked...
Hence the double meaning of my question : do we really need that kind

According to the doc's I can:
Use the tempName function to find an appropriate place to put a temporary file.
Would the fact that the machine a Rev application is installed on is
on a network make any difference?
IOW - will the tempName function provide me with a reliable path for placing

Hi Andre,
have you tried removing the drive from your MacBook (easy to do with
the new laptops) and seeing if the machine will boot from CD/DVD
without it? If not then the machine is dead, and your disk may be
recoverable. For that you'd need someone with an equivalent MacBook

Lets hope it is not hard drive, but motherboard of your laptop, in this case
strange sounds may also come out from hard drive devices... There are
external cases for hard drives to be connected through USB. They come in

been), but a quick answer from somebody could be quicker than searching.

The whole word is in the Courier font, but the middle 2 letters are of a

A workaround (assuming that the textfont is never actually going to
be mixed) might be to get the textFont of char 1 of the selectedText.

This worked for my iBook too and is a cheap and easy diy solution if

Andre,
The fact that the computer will not boot from other drives is a good thing.
It indicates that the problem is probably on the board not the HD.
I trust you've tried removing the HD from the problem computer to see if it
works in another.
If it IS the HD, then the less tinkering the better.
Thanks for responding Jim, but all I'm doing is running

Do not have you macbook shipped out to Apple for repair before you

Yep, this is another example of incomplete documentation in Rev... I

nothing, zip, nada. Hard to imagine that the Rev team did not anticipate
such topics on the user list :-)

I believe these are currently in beta. 'Neoprene' is a property that
can be set in particularly loud stacks, and will help to insulate
adjacent stacks from interference.
'Structural Engineer' is a smart scripting agent (think Microsoft
