Problem running FrameScript in Frame 9

Tue May 18 15:33:55 PDT 2010

Hi Rick,

Is your version of FM9 fully patched? I believe FM9p250 is the latest and would recommend you update if you haven't already.

If that doesn't help, my only advice is to insert some debugging lines into the script to find out which command and file is giving you trouble. Sprinkle "WRITE Console..." commands liberally around the script and then examine the "consfile.txt" file after the crash to see if you can't narrow it down to a particular command or file that's causing the trouble.

HTH,

Mike
