Player use

Ok, why can I play a MIDI file using a player copied to a window, but I can't play a MIDI file using the play command. Using the play command, I get a nice screech, leading me to believe it is interpreting the MIDI file as an audio file of some form. ?

There is not (at least yet) a Web browser plugin for Revolution or MetaCard. It's really a shame there isn't. That would open up a whole new world of possibilities for this product - and for expanding the user base. Dan Shafer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There is not (at least
