Hi Craig,
Possibly you may remember me from MY HC days.
Regarding your problem: My solution, something I've done a jillion
times, is to just create my own msg box for each project. It may be as
simple as a single field, or more if needed. My particular favorite is
a field that I can paste equations into with it spitting out the
result in a second field. Then I copy and paste the results into other
docs upon which I am working at the time. Much better than a hand or
desk calculator and easier on my failing eyes. (smile) Can even print
as a paper whatchmacallit.
Just a thought!

Kind of. I am an experienced HC author, trying this rev thing out.
Spent an hour learning that the message box is married to the stack
it was opened with.
If I create a stack and fool around with the msg box, then go to
another stack, all my efforts to do simple tasks fail. Why? Because
the names of objects were invalid, since msg was still linked to the
earlier stack. I only got a clue to this when I used object numbers
instead of names, and of course there it does not matter, and my
simple commands worked. I closed msg and reopened it with the second
stack in front. No problem.
My question is, why on earth? And more important, where does it say
this anywhere in the docs. At least msg should say so.
I see the benefits of Rev. I miss the natural, almost perfect
transparency of you know what. And I know that thread is old.
Hello, Jacqueline.
