My instructions worked for Mac and Windows but not Linux if there is no pre-existing location for them that the IDE already knows about. If there was or you specifically told LIveCode where it should be my instructions might not work.

I am, and your website claims that your plugin works for ALL versions

Absolutely no need to apologise; I am (in case you hadn't worked it out 
already) an awkward s*d.

HOWEVER; it is awkward s*ds like me who can push your plugin to its 
extremes, and that isn't
necessarily a bad thing.

!!!!!!!!!!

Now: is this not working because of Linux? Mac PPC ? Old versions of 
RunRev ?
