Greetings Regulae,
that is funny, I am on MacOS X 10.5.8, tried with Rev 4.0 and 4.5-dp 3, no luck. I have to add "wait 0 milliseconds with messages". Maybe it is a difference in the OS? That would be worth noting though since it could be an unpleasant surprise for cross-platform development.

regards
Bernd

Hi Bernd,
My thoughts exactly. I vaguely recalled you use the Mac OS, which made me suspect that was possibly the difference, but it’s just a hunch. I’ve tested on two builds of revMedia, and revEnterprise 3.5 in Windows XP and it works without the “wait with messages”. The “wait” line is easy enough to add, so it works cross-platform, but if you hadn’t picked it up, there is no way I would know about it simply developing in Windows. It truly is the recipe for a major headache- imagine trying to track it down.
Regards,

Michael
