Main menu puzzle

[Stephen Barncard]

Ken, I'm sorry you're having problems, but like any language, you 
need to learn the basics.

Why do you have to come to this forum? - because support is very 
expensive, and Runrev has this wonderful, helpful culture that will 
answer your questions. If runrev had to deliver the quality of 
support you wanted, you'd have to pay for it. It's not because 
they're mean, it's because they're sticking to their business plan. 
They're a very small company and they very much want to survive.

I just read the excellent new 2.7 user's guide (userguide.pdf) that 
steps through how everything works....This is really well-done.

   Ken, I don't know if you bought a copy of Rev or is just working 
with a demo, but between the user guide and the scripting conference 
stacks, the info is there.

You're mind is still trying to bend rev to the way other languages work...
You'll get it soon and will be one of the ones on this list giving advice.
