I am currently on a different machine tonight that does not have 8.2.0 DP-2 on
it, but I will try what you suggest tomorrow morning when I am back on my

Hi Jacqueline,
When I say a 7,000 line script, I should clarify that I am not referring to a
single handler.
Instead the 7,000 lines is comprised of the many handlers that are in a stack
script. Each handler is likely to be less than 200 lines.
There are a couple "monster" handlers that are
Hi Monte,
I am surprised that LiveCode does not have a single large project that can be
loaded into the IDE for a spot control creation and script editing on a real
machine platforms before releasing a DP.
Editing text is a core feature of an IDE and leaving it to customers to discover

Hi Monte,
I do not expect full coverage of every scenario, but my setup and what I was
doing is so far from the edge case that is is right in the middle. (OK, maybe
7000 lines is a lot, but it is not that far from the centre, as far as complex
LiveCode applications go.)

Nice to know, I will leave it with you.
Good luck! My 2 cents worth says that the nature of the 8.x series engine and
the way the 8.x IDE is coded will make it a challenge.
Since 8.1.6 Stable is already "laggy" on my high spec PC and not

>Is ^ a critical part of the recipe?
No. I just tested typing in the first handler in the same 7000 line stack
script, which is at around only line 100, and keystrokes were dropped on the
first line I typed. The IDE had been opened only moments before.
I install 8.2.0 DP-1 with great excitement and anticipation.
10 minutes into using it I find it is regularly dropping keystrokes when working
in the Script Editor.
Close all other programs on the desktop, still happening.
I use a wireless keyboard keyboard, so giving LiveCode the benefit of the

Hi Skip,
There is a 1% brokerage fee charged on all transactions. Which is why you can

The way the transactions work is that you can buy and sell all 5 stocks in a

The idea is to plan what you want to buy and sell and then enter the amounts and
select the Buy
Also, it won't let me make another
transaction even though I have 5000 left.
You can now trade as often as you want.
