I've had someone show me how to use this previously where it involved overriding Do Core.vi, but now I can't remember how to do all the steps.

I found a flash video with google but it seems to be outdated.
I also previously used it by placing it into the "Send <msg name>.vi" replacing the typical "Enqueue.vi" that's scripted into place when you create a message, but when I go to do that again I get a class conflict and I'm thinking I'm forgetting a step here...
are there instructions for this?
thanks

edit2: I was forgetting to change inheritance of the message class to a reply message. I also realize this somewhat breaks the point of actor messaging making it synchronous... as stated in the thread i linked. shame on me.
