I doubt MyDoom is related; it's reported only to be affecting email.

I've had only three reports of similar behavior since RevNet was introduced
in December 2002.

I've not been able to reproduce the error here, but from reading these
reports it seems that something is causing the backscript in the GoRevNet
plugin to be purged.  Two possible causes come to mind:

- Something is explicitely removing the backscript.

- A bug in the engine causes inserted scripts to b removed if the stack
containing them has its destroyStack property set to true and is closed.  By
default the destroyStack property of GoRevnet is false -- could something in
your environment be changing that?

The only requirement of the downloaded RevNet stack is that the GoRevNet
plugin be opened first, as itcontains a backscriptand image resources needed
by the downlod.

To save RevNet to disk just change its mode to toplevel.  As downloaded its
mode is "modeless" to avoid conflict if the pointer tool is active.
