The MacOs folder is there and the file gets added
to it automatically. As for what version I am using
it is Revolution Enterprise 4.5.0. I needed to use
some things in the Enterprise version that are
only in a commercial version of LiveCode. When
I get some more money I will upgrade to LiveCode
commercial version but for now pretty much every
thing I want to do with this small program will work
with the version I am using.
If I ever get it working correctly I willl let you know.
Thanks for the help!
