Greetings from another Mediaphile user. I have a suggestion for you
and TOM and other mediaphile users. I won't bet on this, but I was
experiencing the lost edit problem after inserting a line or cutting
or something (they probably have a pointer problem in their linked
list managers internally, or something). I am pretty sure that I got
around this by always saving the script and reloading it right before
I executed it. It's kind of a pain, but it beats the heck out of
having it go south! Plus, if you are experiencing this problem you are
probably already doing the save before you execute. Also, you could
program some Arexx commands in your script to mark your edit script
progress in a log file if this doesn't help out on your system. And
finally, I have successfully edited the scripts in a text editor.
This may or may not be appropriate for some applications, but it can
be done. If I remember correctly (you guys know what state of mind
you are in by the time you get something to finally work!), the
program would always save lines that otherwise might cause this
problem. Brian
