BUT i am not 100% sure if Rebel12 still uses the same switches. could be that ed has different switches now in rebel12. so be careful. a style working in rebel XP GUI could produce different results in Rebel12 GUI since the kernel is different. we would have to ask ed about this. >It was the page that contained the dialogue between you and Ed >Schroder.
