I got things more or less back to normal after restarting SF. It was the level ruler I had turned off.
The menu I messed with had these items: status, time ruler, time zoom, overview, video, level ruler, level zoom, scroll bar, and data window only. It's strange these things don't show up in the menus but have to be in a context menu that means right clicking on an icon that seems to disappear. I found two ways to display a text level meter in SF5. One is to choose "levels" from the tool bar menu found both in the view menu and, the options menu. This metter seems to be near the bottom. The other is a big meter that has it's own window. It gets focus when activated with alt-6. If another area is activated such as the data window with alt0, the level window seems to sho up above the level ruler. It is turned on with alt-6 if a file is open or alt-7 if not. It can also be activated by choosing "Play meters" from the view menu. Man... Sound Forge is so darn confusing. I know I'm confused. The problem started when trying to get the Window Eyes set file for SF to read the levels. Hotkeys have been defined but they don't work. Nothing appears in the area that has been defined for the user windows set-up for levels. I'm using the WindowEyes supplied set files for Sound Forge. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bobcat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
