Hi Dan,
To get to everything, there are a few checkboxes to
click and menutimes to pick at your convenience.
- Menu 'View' > 'Revolution UI elements in lists'
This has two side effects : (1) the application
browser will now show the RunRev components, and (2)
the property inspector will show the RunRev custom
property sets
- Menu 'Tools' > 'Message Box'
On the 'FrontScripts' and 'BackScripts' cards, there
are checkboxes 'Show Revolution UI Front/Back Scripts'
- Menu 'Edit' > 'Preferences'
On the 'General' card, there is a checkbox 'Contextual
menus work in Revolution Windows' ; I like this one
most because I can get at things I see rather than
having to dig through the AppBrowser.
Hope this helped,
Jan Schenkel.
