Good idea, and glad you liked the last one. These are always a lot of 
fun. Our next conference, which takes place tomorrow, will be presented 
by xtalk pro Jeanne DeVoto, writer of the Rev docs, author of reference 
books on HyperTalk, and long-time recognized person of stature in the 
scripting community. This should be a really excellent conference. 
Jeanne's grasp of Revolution's nuances and behaviors is extensive; she 
probably knows more about the engine and the language than anyone.

Jeanne's topic this week is Menus and how Revolution implements them, 
something that stumps a lot of people at first. Also included in this 
topic are menu buttons and their behaviors (option buttons, popup 
buttons, etc.) The downloadable conference stack is full of good 
examples and documentation, and Jeanne will be adding more at the live 
conference. She has told me there is more to cover than she was able to 
write into the stack.

After the conference we will have our usual free-chat session where you 
can ask anything, on any Revolution topic, including questions about 
your own projects or scripts. This is a very good way to get customized 
help from live experts (or for those in Oz, partially-live experts.) It 
is also a great place for general shop talk and conversation.

I hope to see you all there. Run the following in the message box to get 
your local time for our conference tomorrow:
