Revolution 2.0.2
First the problem from before.
From: WIlliam Griffin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>No errors, and no response no matter what.
Typing a command and hitting return in Message box results in no action.
Whats the deal?

Hi Bill,
There are two types of message boxes : a 1-line
message box and a multiple-line message box.
You can toggle by clicking the two left-most buttons
in the toolbar of the Message box window.
If you are on the one-line message box, and you typed
a command and hit return, and no error appears below,
then it must have worked, but maybe there was no
visible result.
What command were you trying ?
lets see some commands that will not work.
open stack "Array"
open stack "3D Scene"
set style of stack "Console" to document
set visible of cd fld "selectedcolor" of stack "T3D Edit" to false
No results from anything in here.
--__--__--So this problem is happening in 2.01 and 2.02 on Mac and Windows.

Actually, I am having what sounds like the same problem with the message box, and have been avoiding it but putting things into temporary button scripts.
For example, I create a new stack, create a button, then type "hide button 1" into the msg box, and hit return.
The button doesn't hide, the command I typed remains in the message box, with the insertion point blinking at the end of the command, and the results section remains unchanged.
This is in Rev 2.01, under Windows XP Home.
Moving on. the license I bought clearly stated development of applications was available for "All supported platforms " Yet all supported platforms are greyed out in the Distribution Builder. Everything but Mac OS X. Whats the story with this?
When I want to build an application, I have to close my stack, and all the revolution stacks that revolution likes to throw in my face all day, then I get an unexpected quit in the process. Thank god for the trial version of Metacard, it still works, perfectly, instaneously, and without closing my stack.
Also in the distribution builder, the buttons at the bottom of the stack are covered by the window,I can only see about 6 pixels of each of them. I saw the same problem in the old trial version too. If the message box worked, maybe, just maybe, I could fix it myself.
More Problems. Selecting a group and hitting Command R to edit the group only works 10% of the time, if even. I don't have anything in my application that should interfere with this command key thing. It doesn't matter what group is selected, the command key works by poor random chance.
And more: the error dialogue stack shows up UNDER my project windows and palettes, like all these damned Revolution windows do. So I go from editing to having ZERO mouse control over the project, there are windows I can't move, buttons I can't press, until I go digging for the error window, and I can't do that if I can't move my own windows!!! Even when I finally get access to the error window, it tends to be unresponsive to clicks and I have no idea what this program is doing.
more thing: The find/replace option in the scripts, is dumb, simpletext has more sense.
It doesn't understand the context of a full word, example:
find currentColor replace with viewColor
changes all words that contain "current" whether they contain Color or not.
So instead of saving time with a replace all, excessive time is lost fixing scripts.
I really wish I'd used this app more extensively before paying for it.
With Metacard trial, i got 180% more work done learning the application in the same time as I've spent with just one little thing working with Revolution. I wanted my first posts to this list to be "hey look at this cool stuff", instead now I feel disgusted by this product and the company which conned me into buying it, which in turn makes it much harder to get my project updated and out the door.
Hopefully my awful experience and comments on this $200 beta application will get it fixed for the benefit of all.
Revolted,
Bill Griffin
