That was exactly what I had in mind, except that I am a complete beginner in RR and I was a bit nervous about attempting such a thing as a first programming effort. Also, I was hoping that others would also be interested in this option. But what we have on one hand are the experienced MAC users who appear to say "Don't muck around with OUR IDE" and on the other hand an almost complete lack of VB programmers, new to RR, who would naturally be more interested in such an option. So I have little choice. A plugin needs to be my first attempt at Transcript programming, until such time as I can appreciate the inner depths of the "persisting properties" characteristic. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
