NewtSoup FillNewSoup Uses Only Internal Store (2/5/96)

Q: My NewtSoup continues to get the FillNewSoup message, even when the soup already exists. Am I doing something wrong?

A: The NewtApp framework only checks for entries on the internal store to determine if the FillNewSoup message needs to be sent. Check the "Setting the UserVisible Name With NewtSoup" Q&A for more details and a description of how to work around the problem.
