This sounds like an "operator malfunction" (or programmer malfunction in this case>) rather than a Director problem. Of course I haven't done much with my Director. Too much gets in the way!! :-( (such as kids, wife, home repairs, WORK!! ;-) ) By the way -- I haven't seen that many DIRECTOR demos. Could you maybe point me in the right direction to get some Please??? Thanks, Dave S.
