Can I add one thing too??
Pars.... forget 'em in here. Unless you are posting some mega program,
the pars are useless in this forum. You noticed the pars were huge??
Bigger than the post.
And even if you are posting a mega program, using the format of
posting as Hopper, Little Miss Me, myself and others post (splitting
the rars as well) will negate any need for pars to be posted. The
broken bit (and there is rarely any. "Broken" usually happens at the
receiver's end due to their server when good posting practices are
used) can then be reposted upon request. Poster's usually keep their
split rar handy, just in case of a repost request.
Your Agent does have a help button?? I just wondered, as I scoured
Forte's home page looking for a way to help you. I need to "see" what
you see, and Forte is not very forthcoming with tutes online.
Everything is packed in the program in the Help.
It would be easier for you to look in the Help, and then tell us the
bit you don't understand. Cut and paste the bit you don't get and
we'll try to reword it so you understand.
As an aside, those Sprinkler designs were the funniest thing I have
seen in a long time. Just what I needed today to cheer me up!
My husband wants one....I said it won't cover much....
He wants to say
"Honey, come in here -- SURPRISE!......"
rofl..... /rolls eyes.
I told Him it would make a good Dunce hat too..... mehehehe.
