"Deprecated" doesn't mean "eradicated". "Deprecated" means "could you please 
not use this any more? there's better options available now, honest there are!"

IT IS when you are debugging! Do you have gRevDevelopment set to true?

I am not a native english speaker, so you should know better what "deprecated" 
means! :-D
It it obviously still working but may be removed in later versions.

You and I don't, but the scotsmen do! ;-)

say WHUUUT? By deprecated, do you mean not part of the scripting language 
anymore?? I thought we didn't do that.

There's a problem with the script editor losing track of the defaultstack 
during debugging. I see it when it tells me that it can't find a control on 
the card I'm looking at. It's applying all references to itself.


I haven't been able to get a consistent recipe to report the problem but 
since you have one, it would be great if you could submit a report.

put numToChar(42) into the selectedChunk -- numToChar(42): "*"

Any comments?

OK, that was just a shot in the dark, but please try again with LC 9 DP6 just 
to be sure.

"numtochar" and "chartonum" have been deprecated since version 7.x of Liveocde!
So please try again with "NumtoNativeChar" and maybe also LC 9 dp6. :-)
