i just crashed to desktop by assuming it was the same as cutrsc, i.e. "default" to get rid of it. i'd rather not have that happen again...
cutobj ["tvset","PLAIN DOWN",0]
brings up the tv, so what makes it go away?
EDIT - it seems it is the same as cutrsc, in fact it IS cutrsc -
cutrsc ["default","PLAIN DOWN",0]
removes the tv set... now to add this to the comref...
