Re: Message box field deleted

2003-01-21 Thread FMoyer
Just a helpful hint in case it might be helpful:

About a week ago, I asked why the title of my Message Box was  Message Box 
(debug) . Ken Ray replied 

You see Message Box (debug) whenever you open the message box while the 
Script Debugger is open. It allows you to examine and/or evaluate global 
 variables, etc. while debugging a script.

However, I was seeing Message Box (debug) even though my Script Debugger 
was closed. I tried quitting Metacard and starting it up again. But I still 
saw Message Box (debug). 

So here's the helpful hint: if somehow (debug) is stuck in the Message 
Box's titlebar, just open the Script Debugger and close it(!)

Message box field deleted

2003-01-12 Thread FMoyer
Has anyone else had this problem? Every once in a while, the field in the 
message box is deleted. I can't figure out what I am doing to delete it. 
Obviously without that field, the message box does not work. If I catch it in 
time, I do the revert command, otherwise I have to overwrite my present 
mchome.mc with my backup mchome.mc. 

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? Could it have 
anything to do with the fact that the title on my message box is Message Box 
(debug) -- what is the meaning of (debug)?

I am using Mac OS9.2 and MC2.5B1, but the field also got deleted twice while 
I was using 2.4.3

Thanks

Fred,

You see Message Box (debug) whenever you open the message box while the
Script Debugger is open. It allows you to examine and/or evaluate global
variables, etc. while debugging a script. I don't know why you might be
deleting the Message Box field, though...

I've never seen this in any version of MetaCard. The only thing I can 
think of is that somehow the message box has become toplevel, and you 
have a script somewhere that deletes a field (or else you manually 
delete a field) and since the message box is toplevel, the deletion 
happens there instead of in the stack that was intended.
