message box history - confused

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonsoir Bernard,

Of course, I'm not a star: I'm just blinking in the dark when I can.
MB messages are saved when Rev quits without problem: in case of  
crash, they are not saved.
So, I assume that in you case, it will not help.

Probably, you could use 4W_UmbrellaMan.rev from Richard Gaskin  
(http://www.fourthworld.com/products/devolution/index.html) in order  
to modify it to write a log on disk that will allow you to get  
relevant results.
