 Nice one, Chris - thanks for the tip! That one apparently wasn't in the FAQ (Frequently Asked/Answered Questions) either.

 Smile,

 I know that feeling. Here is a tip, btw - these forums have two cool (but not very well announced) ways of keeping track of replies to stuff you post:

  1. On your personal profile (where it says "Update Profile" at top of page) you can click on "Enable email notifications of replies to your post".

    Then you get an email whenever anyone replies to anything you have posted (in any thread).

    Personally, I prefer to keep this one to "off", since I scan the forums often enough (at least once a day) to keep up with running stuff.

  2. But there is also another option - when you post a question in a new thread, there is a button on top of the thread that says "notify".

    If you click on that button, you will get an email notification whenever someone posts anything to that specific thread.

    This function I use for seeing if I get any replies when I post a question. Works good for me.

  Hope this was more helpful than my last reply to you Big Smile [:D]

 Smile,
 Stein

Indeed.  I thought the tone was uncalled for as well. Disapprove [V]

 You are right. I do apologize for the unneccessarily harsh tone.

Thank you.  Sometimes one does lose track of all of their postings.

Didn't you find anything based on the answer you got in this thread from the General Discussion forum?

http://www.trains.com/trccs/forums/1341860/ShowPost.aspx 

You can downoad the latest version 4.02 from here.

http://www.xtrkcad.org/Wikka/HomePage 

The XTRKCAD Yahoo group is here.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/XTrkCad/ 

When you find the parameter file you want don't double click it.  Right click and save it to your computer.  Make sure it is in the params directory of XTRKCAD and you should be all set.

Try the XTrkCad group on Yahoo. They have a lot of resources in their file section. Also make sure you have the latest version to include any library updates (4.02).
