startup question

[Jim Ault]

I did not say this, but of course, in the repeat loop you need to

get tEchoFromLib()
wait 60 ticks with messages
if tEchoFromLib <> "" then exit repeat


to allow the call back from the library handler to take effect.

function echoFromLib
   return "true"
end echoFromLib
