[VXCMD] Classic Application

[Don Toro]

I ran valentina("version") from the message box and I got "1.11" for response. So I figured it was a problem with my code. As I went through the library I noticed that the path for Classic was not being set. I always assumed that the path was being set correctly. Once I set the path correctly everything works perfectly fine. Thanks for all your help.

MetaCard is not an issue. It works just fine with Valentina 1.x under 
OS9. At glance, your setup looks okay: shared library in the 
extensions folder and the external in a library stack. If the library 
is in use, it should work.

Try answer valentina("version") in your stack or from message box. 
May be you get a more meaningful error. This should work without 
initializing Valentina. If it says Valentina is not known, then your 
script can't see the code resource. If you get nowhere, contact me 
off the list and I try to help you to get things right.

By the way, you don't need to set the external property under OS9 at all.
