Asterisk Problem???

[timcissell]

OK... I'm a bonehead. But, I've looked through the manual and still no joy.

On the numeric key pad section of a Mac G4 keyboard....

the key below the eject button... and above the " - " key

looks like an asterisk... looks like this: " * "

When I'm using a time code main window to "locate"... to drive around on a track, I happened to hit that button. The main locate window goes "green" (I'm color blind) and I probably accidentally hit enter too...

And now it skips to an offset time code location and won't go to an " = " entered code.

What have I done and how do I get home???

Thanks in advance for your patience with the stupid.

Bump w/some more info.

The ProTools Keyboard Stickers call this asterisk function "Enter Main Counter".

If a track starts at 01:00:00:00, and the PT file starts say at 00:59:57:20... after I hit the asterisk button and enter, if I use the equal sign " = " and then enter "01:00:00:00, the location skips to 01:59:57:20...

I'm confused about what is happening. Some sort of offset...?

I'm sure it's a simple thing... I just don't understand it.

Help?
