just fooling around with the msg, it seems you can leave off "the"s (<the> topLeft of bg btn "og") and it works, although the literature suggests using the "the"s. since all of my HC stacks were carefully pruned of "the"s except where absolutely needed to execute, i wonder whether others went back and did "the" restoration work before porting scripts to MetaCard? ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.erikhansen.org __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
