John, Thanks for the nice note! I'm glad if it came across comprehensibly. I think that CALL FORM and CALL WORKER are fantastic commands and really like them. So I used them to build a Publish/Subscribe system in 4D. It really makes it easy to reuse form widgets, add new windows into your UI, log

TEXT TO DOCUMENT With Special Characters

I’m having trouble with saving Unicode characters to a file. For example, the following code saves a file to disk: C_TEXT($tText;$tFilepath) $tText:=“©” //Copyright symbol $tFilepath:=System folder(Desktop)+"test.txt" TEXT TO DOCUMENT($tFilepath;$tText;UTF8 text without length) When I open the
