To avoid lag slowing down entry, I can do all checking and db-to-entry

I'm only weighing my options at this point. If somehow Chipp/Ken's library

Scott, The reason I use tmControls (besides ease of use) is because you have
gone through all of the effort in making them Pixel Perfect which is what is
needed for iOS as quasi Native Controls and look and feel of iOS native apps.
The reason I would want to use Chipp and Ken's (excellent)
FWIW,
If tmControls had a settable altHeight and an altWidth, then they should be
able to work. Or if one could set their height and width from a script, the
resizer library would see them as just another control. Take a peek at the
lib code to see how his is done.

Try it in a standalone. Don't forget neither SuperCard's nor HC's IDE was

Use multiple break points and 'run' from one to the next (instead of step
