Aha. Found the problem (in the 2.8.1 Home stack). The first two lines of the Home startup script need to be debugged... on startup if char 1 to 3 of the version >= "2.7" then open stack "mctools.mc" as palette -- Mac users can comment this out start using stack "mctools.mc" set the defaultStack to "home" reset cursors end if pass startup end startup These corrections also mean that the tools palette gets displayed, which it never did. /H _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
