I, too am a bit disappointed with the engine debug messages in engine 2.6. Many times my scripts don't seem to want to compile on the first try, and issue a 'bad factor' error, but do alright on the next try. If this is supposed to be fixed in the 2.3 engine, has anyone yet checked? I also lose

I must admit, I really don't understand the need for a 3rd 'active' mode either. As one who has already built quite a few plugins, I neve never seen a reason for an 'active mode as you describe. One of the best features of Metacard is it's simplicity. My vote is to keep it that way. Best,

I noticed in the latest DL of MetaCard, the alwaysBuffer of most IDE stacks is not set. While this was not necessary in previous versions of the engine, it is now used to disable the 'flashing' effect around windowsXP look and feel. I recommend setting the alwaysBuffer of all IDE stacks to

Hi Richard et al... I agree with Richard, in fact, his often well-thought expression of MetaCard's strict compliance to the vanilla is the primary reason why I'm 'attempting' to switch to MC (I'm sure a first, going back to MC from one who has started with RR:-) I believe the alwaysBuffer

Scott and Wilhelm, As long as you're adding features... I like Wilhelm's idea and think it's good for a couple of reasons: 1) It doesn't change the existing vernacular...IOW, old scripts will work with it just fine 2) It works great with stacks on the 'edge' of the screen where the dialog box
