What I did to make this easier is I created a Development menu in the stack menu that I remove in standalones. Openstack builds a submenu in the Development menu for all the behavior buttons (but they could be script only stacks) so that I can click Development/Scripts/ to edit the script of

You are so clever, Herman! Yes, the idea is to write it out into a field. This is great for the Taylor series, but how would one generalize this so that we could expand any fctn of x and n in the “genFctn” field into the “expandedFctn” field Sorry to take up so much of your time. Thanks,

Thanks to Herman and Håkan but I haven’t got it yet. Consider the sum from n=0 to 2 of x^n/n!. What I want to do is expand this into the series x^0/0! + x^1/1! + x^2/2! etc. I can’t seem to wrap my head around this one!! Thanks very much, Roger > On Dec 27, 2018, at 8:25 AM,

Yeah, I know breakpoints don't hurt in standalones but during active debugging you have to keep moving them around or deleting them to avoid unintended breaks. At least with red dots you can zap them all at once with a menu selection. I've had more than one brush with the law you mentioned.

Part of the reason is that it is a “script only stack” and as soon as you start adding other things it is no longer script only.  If you need to store other things, then why not just use a binary stack file?  Version control... use ScriptTracker (or some other method of script export that
