No Response To Scripts

I am working with a V3 on a robot arm. I have included some of the "Hand" example scripts in my project and edited them by naming the servos as per my project. The servos will not respond to them nor will they respond to the scripts I write. All my servos work well with the slide controls in the configuration windows. What am I doing wrong? When I press "START" in a sample script window it shows that the script is working and then that it is done but there is no movement at the servos.

As Alan mentioned, using board 1 isnt useful by skipping board 0. Please follow the tutorials and it will be helpful to get you up and running.

Hey thanks a million. Well I guess we can close this discussion now. I have switched everything to Board 0 and voila all is well. I have looked in the script tutorial again to find where it would indicate to a novice like me that one should start with board 0 and can not find anything to that effect. Should I look somewhere else? I have learned a lot and thank you all for your input and your patience.. Alain

It is in the script manual, but after all the commands in the Reference section:

Multiple EZ-B Boards

ARC supports multiple physical EZ-B Boards connected to your computer. You can specify the board by putting the board number in front of the port. For example: Servo(2.d0, 8) will move the D0 servo on EZ-B board #2 to position 8. If no board index is specified, the first board (zero) is assumed. If using more than one board, the first board is always responsible for movement panels.

It took me a little digging to find it and I knew it was there, so maybe not the best documentation. I believe it is also mentioned in the ARC tutorial and the instructions for the connection box.
