Uli: What is new syntax in your case? e.g. if I wanted
to add a command: laugh about <value> when
<expression>
would this be new syntax?
Anthony: Yes. But "laugh(value,expression)" is not.
Alain: Just like HyperCard. Any new command or
function must use the generic form of syntax that is
less english-like than native syntax, as illustrated
below.
commandName param1,param2,paramn
functionName (param1,param2,paramn)
Alain: Is this the only kind of syntax that you
envision people contributing to FreeCard?
Alain: It should be noted that AppleScript allows a
scripter to create english-like syntax comparable to
the native syntax. AppleScript is not limited to the
generic syntax illustrated above.
Alain: Is it possible to dramatically simplify the
process of adding new NATIVE FreeScript syntax to
FreeCard? A user-friendly interface to mask all but
the really necessary details, crafted with HyperCard
or MetaCard say?
