The comment syntax I use before a handler is the documentation syntax used
by LiveCode to create docs from scripts.

Trevor, I'm curious what the significance is in using /** as the begin comment 
indicator? Is it something you use internally?

BR - I'm glad you were able to locate the handler you need in the source
code. Here is a handler I use for printing out arrays as YAML when I'm
debugging or logging. It most likely could use some improvements but works
well for what I do with it.

Re: YAML Libraries

I found the handler

## Monte's YAMLToArray command
constant kMultiLineModeNone = 0
constant kMultiLineModeLiteral = 1
constant kMultiLineModeFolded = 2

command YAMLToArray pYaml

[snip] in the levure initialization behavior.

I think that's it. There is no "ArrayToYaml"  but that is not needed.

@Trevor DeVore I am not ready to "levurize" 
SivaSiva. (although it seems a good fit, I don't know what I getting into.. a 
bit "scary" ) But perhaps you have the libraries someone would need?

YAML Libraries

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

I am finding the constraints of JSON to be a bit, well, "constraining" , for 
use in small "data serializations". e.g. a list of 20 stories with various 
parameter, that you don't want to put in a database (for now, maybe later once  
the dBase design clarifies itself and the number of "stories" start to scale-up)

Looking at YAML, seems the perfect fit. But there are no "YamlToArray" or 
"ArrayToYaml" plug ins in the "inclusions"
