Re: RDi Mac OS X - menus sporadically fail to appear on load requiring reload

Well, you were a bit cranky! But my problem is, this doesn't answer my 
question!!   :)  Glad to be a sounding board, some days, right?

I recall that someone was maybe submitting an RFE, I think for RDi, and 
said they got transferred away from the RFE site to another, whose name 
I forget.

So was that you? And do you remember any details?

And if this was someone else, details would be very helpful!

Regards
Vern
