cannot create a new document class

> cannot create a new document class

i can under xp but not under w7... i can .pl files in w7 but using the SAME procedure i cannot get NEW classes to work. The new class just sits there, changing fonts etc does not change documents with the appropriate extension.

Extension (and class) xxx works! Though "pre" does not which is what i have standardized on. Why can i not use extension and or a class named pre?

BTW despite this BB best efforts i am logging this to my email. Usually a second email address works. Sadly this BB software thoroughly bogarts its contents, forcing one to go to this website for even the slightest information:-(((

If the files were open before the class was created, they will not be recognized as belonging to the class. Close the files and re-open them and they will be recognized.

Is this supposed to make any sense?

Just as i did for the Perl class i shut down textpad completely got a new textpad instance created the class then shut down textpad again. That is the instance which failed to get the PRE class going with *,pre files

Sense in what way? i would not have written it if it did not make sense: Their is NO content of the respondents posts EVER in any eMail.

I think what MudGuard meant was "Is this supposed to make any sense to anyone other than yourself?" because to be honest, I don't think it does...

Yes, a sense organs perceptions make sense to the central nervous system -ie one's who can do something about it. Such traffic may not be intelligible to sideliners though.

But as this is just a software issue there are many way it can be addressed. As a user of this forum this sensor is frustrated with a slowness necessitated by constantly going to a central site to get information and a lack of bridging to archives of my choosing. As such it may meet some purposes, but not all and certainly not mine.

*.pre seems to work on both W7 platforms now.
Perhaps the machine shutting down with a new day reset something. Hard to say as i can't duplicate.-)

Great!
