There was a very useful thing in hypercard. If you used the enter key while editing a script the script would save. Likewise, if you closed a script dialog, the script would automatically save any changes. I understand other users might not want either of those features but I really want them.

Nope, revAltArchive does not auto-save. It only saves when you press it's icon from the altPluginToolbar. There's another utility that autosaves, but it's not revAltArchive. Did you get it from here: http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/altPluginDownload/Downloads.htm -Chipp On 4/4/07, [EMAIL PRO
