metacard Digest, Vol 6, Issue 10

[John Ranck, D.M.A.]

Thanks for the response.

Nothing happened when I did what you suggested. Does the message window 
work differently in Revolution? In Metacard I just hit Enter to have the 
program perform the command. Hitting Enter in Revolution doesn't seem to 
do anything. Should I be doing something different? The file name is in 
the toolbar above the message so I'm assuming that the message box is 
looking at the correct file. I've even tried a simple "find" command and 
that's not workin either - with "find 'do0xxx'" or "find 'do0xxx' in 
stack 'index'" where do0xxx is the number of a box in our offsite 
inventory and index is the name of the stack.

If you need any more info to toubleshoot this problem, please let me 
know. Many thanks for any assistance.
