Mark,

I have three things for you.

First you last upload did NOT fix the problem where a text file is not read.
I have several text items that are actually files that ECS is to read.
Example readthis.txt.  My text item is then setup as
@c:\ecs\readthis.txt

ECS executes this by reading the phrase "@c:\ecs\readthis.txt" rather than
looking a the file and reading it.

Secondly, and this is really a "problem" from prior to the beta, is doing an
insertion point in an event.  Open any event.  Click with the mouse/cursor
to insert someplace (say line 20).  Most of the time (but not ALL of the
time) the insertion point will "jump" back up to line 1.  If I am trying to
insert at say line 100, this is a little annoying.  On that second attempt
however, the insertion point will be correct.

Finally, the new phone logic is too fast.  I have a number of situations
where I want ECS to announce the caller and then answer the phone (for
example an Outside Caller).  With the beta version ECS answers the phone
before it can announce the caller.  Then, when the phone-answer item is done
playing ECS announces the caller.  ECS also then records the announcement as
part of the phone message.  I have tried inserting a Beginif line for the
ring count to be 2 or higher before the phone is answered, but that causes
another problem for me.  is there any way to slow ECS down a touch to get
the announcement first?  If not I suppose could redo my event (it is pretty
lengthy) but I try and avoid extra work if I can <G>.
