[comp.sys.mac.apps] 4D - "USE ASCII MAP

wbrown@beva.bev.lbl.gov (Bill Brown) (11/06/90)

I'm using the latest version of 4th Dimension to develop a custom application.
(I think it's ver 2.0.11 - it's at home right now so I can't check)

I've run into a problem with the function USE ASCII MAP - according to the
documentation the first argument is the name of the file containing the 
ascii map to be used, and the second argument determines whether to change
the input map or the output map.  The valid values for input/output are 1 and
2.  I forget which is which but I've tried both.  In both cases only the INPUT
map is changed, and of course it's the OUTPUT map that I need to change.

Anybody else see this?  Anybody got a fix (besides loading it manually via
the menu command)?
