Merci beaucoup Eric ! Well I found a way to combine the GM and scripting (I read your tutorial...) Well, I think the GM is good enough for minor use / basic things... and scripting stays the best way... Greets, Christian Début du message réexpédié : De : Eric Chatonet [EMAIL

Hi all, Dave in particular, Is it possible that the stack I can no longer compile to a stand alone uses this broken Geometry Manager without my having called any of its routines myself. It contains a lot of images that I have either imported or pasted from images copied from ResEdit and
