Recording and playing sounds

[Carsten Levin]

Hi Mark ... and everybody :-)

Thanks for the advice on how to get better/acceptable quality. We are having
the same problem ...

And regarding your question on recording with ext_recordsound ... no the
recording is stopped ... it is controlled by the pallette called by the
external ... record/stop/playback.

Best regards

Carsten Levin
