The majority of our scripts start with a set of meta values. Of course these vary depending on the type of script. Fore example

;SAVEAS=FALSE
;ABORT=FALSE
;DELAY=FALSE
;SMARTSORT.DESCENDING

would be part of our plot script.

But other scripts may use ;SAVEAS=TRUE for what ever reason.

The issue coming up is when someone runs a script with a ;SAVEAS=TRUE meta and later on needs to use a WIZARD script. The saveas Meta doesn't get cleared out when a new script is loaded. The LIVE META option works great to turn it on. But it appears to need a FALSE in order to turn it off. The lack of a TRUE isn't quite enough.

Did I lose you?

There is obviously more to it. After all... if a script was absent both a TRUE or FALSE meta for SAVEAS what is Hurricane to do. So... I guess it would have to be controlled with some sort of preset META for WIZARDS or similar... Just throwing it out there.

I thought maybe I could edit the template script file. (the script the the WIZARD pulls in...) but I couldn't find it. Is that a possibility?

No problem... of course we can append. The guys can also just click it off too They are so used to the automation I've got them spoiled.

Hmmm... interesting idea...

Maybe the solution, for the time being, is to just "append" a script that ONLY holds the right META commands?? Will that work for you?

The "Wizard" scripts are hard-coded in Hurricane, and aren't being pulled from a template... but you gave me an idea... it is a possibility... but at the moment can't be easily done.

Hope thats ok!
Bill
