Actually, there is another way to do this. RIP supports "local file playback" with the text variable $>file$ (where "file" would be the file name in question). You can embed this in the command values of a button, along with any other commands you want executed. Of course, just as for a custom set of icons, your users would need these scenes on their drive. - Bill Hyatt Galacticomm, Inc. ("u know us, u love us, u can't live without us!")

When RIP fills a region, it does so until it hits the fill border color - that's how it knows when to stop. So, there's two possiblities here: 1) You don't have the fill border color set to the correct color. For example, if you wanted to fill a yellow rectangle with blue, you'd set the fill color to blue, and the fill border to yellow. 2) You've got a "hole" in the surrounding regions, which causes the fill to continue. Just *one* pixel is enough! Again, if you had a yellow rectangle, but somehow it had a pixel missing, or a different color, then the blue fill would "spill out" thru it. - Bill Hyatt Date: Saturday, October 2, 1993 4:03pm /RIP From: ML@C-M {MBBS: Sysop} Msg#: 376598 To: ML@OPT {MBBS: DURANGO} Re: New Problem..

It needs a distinct defined color on which to stop the fill, and that color should form a complete enclosed area.

I myself haven't used Tombartist (we use RIPaint here at GComm) - it's possible it's saving your scene in some fashion that's causing RIPterm to improperly interpet the commands. I'd like to bring the scene up in RIPaint, and have a look at it. You might try looking to see the actual x,y coordinates of the fill point - it's possible it's sitting "right on the edge" of your intended fill region.

If the driver is the common Microsoft driver, and it's in your path just try typing MOUSE before attempting to load Ripaint. The other possibility is that you have a modem or other serial device configured for the same port although a symtom of this problem usually does not show up till you run the other device.

Of course, just Bill, Local file playback has a lot of potential but I am having some trouble with it. My problem is this: if a button command calls a local Rip file that is a copy of my menu ( <>Top Menu<> $>TOP.RIP$ ) the menu paints fine and fast but the user is not transported to the TOP page. If I use all "/go" commands on my menu the buttons will work even if the user is still on the EMAIL page. ...but this is not so good! A user entering keyboard characters in the text window, thinking they are on the TOP page, gets surprised and confused. If I put "/go top" in my button command along with $>top.rip$ the menu paints twice (slowly over the 2400 baud modem and then much faster from the local hard drive).

I think that will change. There used to be a few ROBO systems here and they all failed miserably... I think some of your fellow sysops there will be using rip real soon now. Roman Empire and Wendy's Dungeon should be installed any day from what I hear. Course thats just two of many, but I am 300 miles away and news travels slowly...

Metallica, Dream Theater, Peal Jam, MO>Alice in Chains, will probably blow it away (I'm just guessing here)... I would like to see how the RIP music is going to work but not sure if I will use it or not. I guess how good it (the music) is will all depend on who you get to do the music for you. My wife was a major in music and has been in a band for over 14 years. She also writes music (at times) and plays clasical on the piano quite well. I have been messing a bit with my sound blaster and a sequencer so never know what sort of fun stuff could be came up with. As for systems like the amiga I seem to remember that most MOD files that I can play on my soundblaster came from the AMIGA in the 1st place.
