True, that should have been his first reaction, but as long as he
posted the question here, I'll go ahead and give the most likely
response:
This is probably just due to your having obsolete ask and/or answer
dialogs hanging around someplace, probably as substacks of one of your
main stacks. This most commonly occurs if you used the Resource Mover
dialog with a previous release of MetaCard and then upgraded the
engine. Note that when you upgrade, you must either delete those old
dialogs from your stacks, or move new ones in. The Resource Mover
dialog will do either of these for you.
