A good question. At the moment I think the answer is no. Right now the drawback to teaching this would be the loss of backward compatibility for pre-2.8.1 versions (linux, Mac Classic, those of us with OSX 10.2.8). But I have hopes that as rev evolves in the near future there will be more of a real distinction in the two, at least as far as speed goes. Conceptually they *are* different things, but I don't know that I would try explaining this to new rev programmers. -- Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
