Jacque,
Thank you so much for your suggestions but, unfortunately, they
don't work. I had the same problem once or twice in the past with
earlier Revolution Versions and at that time just gave up and
created stacks from scratch instead of developing from clones
My setup is PowerPC G 4 under Mac OS X 10.4.11.
I am very much confused by the behaviour of a stack which was created
(with Revolution 3.0.0) by cloning another stack (which had been
developed under 2.9.0 or an earlier version, don't remember that
detail). The new stack has been renamed,
. Again, I just got no response from anyone.

I don't think these commands ever worked form the message box,

The negligence in this regard may be rooted in my HyperCard experience.
