I'm glad that worked out, Matthias. Linux can be every bit as easy to work with as other OSes when you get it like we get other OSes: pre-installed with the computer you purchased, with all the necessary drivers and configs set up for that particular hardware. Dell, Acer, System 76,

It isn't This Me that is portable (Mark indicated it shouldn't be used anywhere but in a behavior script itself if I recall) but it is simple Me that is portable. Me will always refer to the object USING a behavior (or not as the case may be) and not the behavior itself. Bob S > On Jan 23,

I just checked, and yeah, this me is portable between object scripts and behavior scripts, but it seems highly unlikely that the concept itself would be portable. i.e. it's far more often the case that a reference to me/this me from an object's script *should* be a reference to the control itself,
