Where is the one-page list of steps on the livecode.com site that

(Mac, Win, Linux)?
This one fails:

Touch messages already send duplicate mouse messages. In fact, unless you
need two-finger zooming, you don't need touch handlers at all. I only use
standard mouse handlers generally because they wotk on both mobile and desktop.
