- Subject: MDAS lost explain screens
- Lines: 27
-
- We're still running MDAS 1.2.1 and I just encountered a strange
- problem. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this.
-
- Some time ago I defined a new MDAS database and copied in one of the
- sets of default help screens, @iac. We brought the file up with only
- a merged headings index while we worked out some problems with the
- keyword index. I went in through MSYS and deactivated the k= command.
-
- Today we brought up the keyword index so I went in through MSYS again
- and re-activated the k= command, but all the keyword help and explain
- screens are now blank. Is this the way the system is suppose to work?
-
- I guess I'm going to have to delete the database definition through
- MSYS and then redefine it so as to copy in all of those screens
- again. It sure doesn't seem like this should be necessary. Any
- advice would be appreciated.
