Nothing happens when I drag a model into mknrndll.

Using NEURON 7.1

Try dragging the entire folder that contains the mod file.

Thanks... Yes, I did. It looks like this in the prompt:

-e
drag a folder or set of mod files onto the mknrndll script
Press 'return' key to close
/Users/BC/Desktop/neuron/extracellular_stim_and_rec

... and nothing else happens...

Thanks... I know have 10.6, and when I drag xtra.mod to the mknrndll icon, this is entered into the prompt:

Since I'm new to NEURON, I don't understand what to make of this. Anyway, when I double-click on initxstim.hoc or do load_file("initxstim.hoc") in the oc> prompt, NEURON crashes quits...

Drag the old installation to the trash and try
http://www.neuron.yale.edu/ftp/neuron/v ... 10.2.0.dmg
Install by dragging NEURON-7.2 to the Applications folder. Then try dragging your folder containing the
mod files onto the mknrndll icon.

Thanks... I am still not able to get it to work. I downloaded the file you attached, dragged the NEURON 7.2 folder to the Applications folder, then the extracellular_stim_and_rec folder onto the mknrndll icon, and received this in the prompt:

None of the messages quoted in that post were error messages. Furthermore, the next to last message was

so it seemed like a good bet that nothing had gone wrong.
