Thanks for the reply and you are 100% correct. However, at least for some quick-and-dirty stacks some XCMDs would certainly come in very handy. So, I've tried a few more XCMDs/XFCNs, but they all don't yield any result. So my question remains: to make XCMDs/XFCNs work, is there more to it than just copying them to the .rev file using ResEdit? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
