Re: URLencode bug?
The project, called revShare, was commissioned by David Johnson, and as such, is his property. You may try and contact him directly to find out more. At the time it was created, things worked by updating changes via FTP to a server and reading them via HTTP. The idea was it should be able to accomodate synchronous and asynchronous communications. So, if someone made a change to a stack they were sharing with you, yours would update as soon as you came online, no matter if they were online or not. Sort of a cloud based stack sharing system.

Re: URLencode bug?
Ah, but you can use them for storage Great way to preserve small blocks of data. FUNCTION libFile_HXEncode pData put base64encode(pData) into tData replace return with linefeed in tData return tData END libFile_HXEncode FUNCTION libFile_HXDecode pData replace linefeed with return with tData put base64decode(pData) into tData return tData END libFile_HXDecode Base64Encode after using URLEncode can be an almost bulletproof way to store data in situ. one can create medium sized, neat readable blocks of data in your script that look like formatted object code blocks. The data could be exact htmlText that you want with placeholders encoded in. Or perfect MySQL calls with the 'right' punctuation. /* BASE64Encoded: SELECT dm.Device_Number, dm.id FROM ( DEVICES_Main_R AS dm INNER JOIN Devices_Types AS devABBRV ON dm.Device_Abbrev=devABBRV.id ) WHERE devABBRV.Device_Abbrev LIKE 'deviceAbbrev' ; */ get \ U0VMRUNUCiAgZG0uRGV2aWNlX051bWJlciwKICBkbS5pZAogIEZST00gKCAgREVWSUNFU19N \ YWluX1IgQVMgZG0KICAgICAgSU5ORVIgSk9JTiAgRGV2aWNlc19UeXBlcyBBUyBkZXZBQkJS \ ViBPTiBkbS5EZXZpY2VfQWJicmV2PWRldkFCQlJWLmlkICkKV0hFUkUgZGV2QUJCUlYuRGV2 \ aWNlX0FiYnJldiBMSUtFICc8ZGV2aWNlQWJicmV2PicgOw== put base64decode(it) into tSQL Nicer for some things over custom properties because you can keep all the data and code in the same place. Not easy to hand code this but easy to make a code builder in rev. I will include some comment english text explaining what it is.

Re: URLencode bug?
Oh, and if you just keep adding data up to the max limit on like length, every breakover point the field resets and shows only the new stuff after the break. (or if wrap is off, it just never shows anything again) I forget where the limit is on wrapped lines, things might be behaving correctly, but the complete disappearance when wrap is off is surely not correct.
