You know, I am having an incredible time trying to get anything done when a question poised to this forum usually, in my experience, takes about a week to get a reply, and then it is often in the form of RTFM.

I use quite a bit of software and am expert at some of them - not this one, of course - and I have never failed to help out someone with a question, when I could. I have often offered to look at their files, if my time permits, and often it has.

GameStudio appears to be a nice product, but this is about the 3rd time I have, in earnest, decided to do something with it but, invariably, the manual does not describe everything in the way that I can understand, it is sooooo slow to pry a reply from someone, and I just shelve the effort and work with other software. That's a shame. I complete many projects that I start, so I'm not a quitter.

One of the replies was read page 74 of the manual. Good advice, but take into account that if I (we) had not already read page 74 until my eyes bled, I would not even know of the existence of the exec function to ask a question about it anyway. The problem is that I have read page 74, I have tried - to the best of my abilities - to get it working on my own, but have failed to do so and am simply asking for help, just like the user who started this topic.

Isn't that what this forum is for?

Sincerely, Ron
