I'm an idiot who hasn't read the directions yet, is that there
is no way to write a library of functions to be included in

I thought about that except open is already a registered
trademark.
I also chose OpenScript to separate it out from the card
based product. OpenScript then becomes it's own
language that different products not relating to any GUI
can be built with.
OpenCard and OpenTalk are both registered

oh.

On #include:
Scott Raney and I have discussed include several times, but
besides being unable to come up with a comprehensible name ("include"
really says nothing, does it?),
I don't see why not. It's an imperitive... It tells the compiler: "Include
whatever [into my source]"
But *when*?
I think we should split our exception hierarchy off -- call it something
like "OpenCardExceptions.h" or "OCException.h"
Anthony,
no problem. Should we add a '#include "OCException.h"' to JokerUtilities?
Hmmm... I like to delete files with "delete" and memory with "delete" or
"free". But

I am very excited about the "include" feature!
What do you guys think about "use" instead?
I know we mentioned "using" which implied a stop at
some point to some people. I really like:
use the script of file "filename"
use the script of object_reference
These lines would be anywhere in the
No doubt. But since AppleScript is not case-sensitive, it should fix this
itself.
Anthony,
AppleScript doesn't fix anything. It just takes over everything as the
programmer spelled it in the dictionary, assuming he knows what he wants.
After all, imagine AS made everything lowercase. What if
