Chuck,
I had a little more time today to use 4.06, this weekend will be the real test.
However, I was trying to use the BACKWARD feature and it would not work. I'm
not sure where the SHELL commands are to be typed, so I tried using the ARexx
feature.
Your notes said to double click on FLYERPROC.REXX, which I did. The script ran
all the way, up to where I was asked to enter the operation. I deleted the X2
that was in the requester and typed a minus sign -.
The Workbench screen appeared for a split second and then another menu appeared
saying "done" or some words to that effect.
When I checked the Flyer drive to see if anything was there, nothing was. I
then tried leaving the X2 command in the requester to see if that would work.
Again the Workbench screen flashed and I got a menu telling me things were
completed. This time there was a BLACK icon on the drive menu. I placed it in
the project area and opened it up. It was totally black, and ran about 4 or 6
frames. The length of the scene that I was working with was 9 seconds 8 frames.
The original scene is on my A drive and I always listed my B drive as the
target drive.
Am I doing something wrong?
Fred
