Problem with Dialog Boxes??

[Ralph R. Forehand]

Eric,

Hmmm... it works great and the simple example scripts were perfect. Thank You very, very much. :-))

Now, is there a way to open the substack (my Dialog Box) script and objects for editing??

Also my substack does not appear in the Stack Files listing??

More Later and TAKE CARE,
Ralph
