John This does not directly answer your question, and how you read it depends a bit on whether you are developing Rev solely for yourself on a Mac or have broader possibilities... Reiterating a conversation on this list from early this year, if you are new to Rev then I really encourage you to try flying without the XCMDs. With a bit of digging among the new (HC-superset) features, you will be amazed at both the capability and speed of Rev. I speak from experience in that I quite deliberately chose not to rely on XCMDs when moving from HC to Rev, even though I had some 200 catalogued in my library and had written more than half of those myself. I have not regretted that bit of cold turkey but have learned faster in consequence. You may have a particular need and the XCMDs you have mentioned may be just perfect so don't let me put you off. However, you did say you were relatively new to Rev and I have inferred from that that you have some ground to explore in the language. Try it without the old HC expectations and I am confident you will enjoy it a lot. regards David _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
